For those who dont speak german, like me...the death card says this:

The "research":
Ive tried googling and i came across with some things...
I think i found a relative of the soldier. Ive searched for the surname of the soldier and town where he was born, Pichl. And found a guy with the same surname and from same town!
This guy (the one i think its a relative of my soldier) owns a local transportation business: rebhandl.com (i dont want to put the click-link to it just in case, if you want to check it out, type it in your browser)
The thing is that, i mailed them some months ago, i wrote a formal e-mail in english asking if i could contact the possible relative and ask him more about my soldier, but i had no response. :(
