Heer Tailor Tag - Any Idea What the Name Is?

[DonC]

Hello, All -

I am trying to figure out the name of the owner this particular tunic. Any ideas?

As always, any help much appreciated!

What type of tunic is it?

[Naxos]

Feldw. (Feldwebel) Burbank

the date looks like: November 21st

There are 9 men listed on the German War Grave site - six of them are from M?nster in Westfalen.

Don if you tell us more about the tunic we could possibly narrow the suspects down.

Regards, Hardy

I am always amazed by people's abilities to figure out these names - thanks, Hardy! The nametag is actually in a pair of panzer-piped dress trousers that are part of a Panzer Leutnant's uniform. Any Burbanks in the Panzers or Panzerj?ger?

Don't know, Don - but there is an Oberleutnant Franz-Josef Burbank from M?nster that was killed when the evacuation plane carrying him was shot down on a flight from Ruma to Sarajevo on 21st of June 1943.

He is your only candidate from the VDK - of course the is the possibility that the wearer of your pants survived the war.
