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

Thank you!

I was thinking like you, could be an older picture from when he was a Ln.

Regards,
