I apologise for any errors

A couple of small errors in the above:

verletzt = injured
vermisst = missing
KG = Kriegsgefangener = Prisoner of War

I worked out what "N.N." meant from the context but as fro the words it stands for: «Name nicht gemeldet» maybe? (name not reported). It would work well in English though ("No Name").
