Hans Wolfgang von Oedheim genannt Bautz

[dksck]

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!

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?

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".
