John Fabke:
Hello,

I apologize for my use of English. I wish I could communicate with you in German but unfortunately my language skills are very poor. I wonder if the members of your board might be kind enough to help me out.
I've been doing some research on my grandfather's cousin and got some information from Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e.V. -
Could someone tell me about his unit?
2./I.R. 122
Erkennungsmarke -49-Stb.I./I.R.122
He was killed 27/7/41 near Kucies. Where is that? A basic Google search did not yield much. I think it is in Moldolva. Is there any way to find out about the action in which he was killed?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi,

thats interesting.. I´m the leader of the 50th ID union here in germany.. and the IR 122 was a part of this division. Yesterday I read some informations obout the divion-fightings at the Dnjestr area (Bessarabia) 1941. There are some more informations given.

The cousin fell in the area of Kucier this is on the eastern side of Dnjestr river. north of Dubossari and southwest of Roghi

this is here:

at this area the division came accross the Dnjestr river.. very hard fightings... can you give me his name?

Balsi:

Thanks so much for your help. His name was Karl Krenz. He was an Obergefreiter and originally from Schwerin. The note I got from VDK said that his remains were in the Soldatenfriedhof, Triaspol. Thanks as well for any additional information you might be able to provide.
