dksck Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm trying to learn how Hans von Oedheim died. All that I've found tends to repeat the same information, that he moved back to the western front with his regiment in 1917, fell ill and died "of that disease." What "disease"? I found a website that shows an official record with a cause of death, but I can't read the hand writing. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! https://www.leo-bw.de/web/guest/detail/-/Detail/details/PERSON/wlbblb_personen/1012181065/Capler+von+Oedheim+gen+Bautz+Hans+Wolfgang%3B+Oberstleutnant+Soldat+Kommandeur+1870-1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) There it doesn´t say either. It states: "An einer im Felde zugezogenen Krankheit" "died from illness contracted in the field." Have you checked the regimental history? GreyC Edited September 4, 2020 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don't have anything further on the cause of death, but for clarity's sake I would note that his surname was "Capler von Oedheim genannt Bautz", with the title of Freiherr, so any index will have him under "C".
