KC winner Franz Schiess or.....???
Hello,
I have a little unusual question. I got this small lot, please see the picture, but not a lot of it makes any sense to me. The picture is a deathcard with a religious motive on the back, but no names are mentioned. The small paper note is from October 19. saying that KC winner Franz Schiess failed to return from a mission. I have compared the picture with others of Schiess, but cannot decide whether this is him on the death card. What do you think? Thanks in advance, Christian
