Greetings, I came into the grave marker about 20 years from the Veterans family who informed me their father worked for graves registry in Europe during and post WW2. The marker reads "Panz Gren / Rudolf Keller / 2.II.26 + 13. V. 45 / 32/d". Rudolf Keller was born on February 2, 1926 and past away on April 13, 1945 and he was a Soldier in a Panzer Grenadier in the 32nd division and died from his wounds after VE Day. Not being the worlds best researcher I was able to find some information on Rudolf Keller on German Graves Registry, such as where he was born, Helenenthal outside of Vienna Austria, and his passing in Linz Austria. I can not figure out the 32nd Panzer Division, the only two I found was the 32nd SS Freiwilligen which surrender to the Americans near Berlin and the 32nd Infantry Division which surrendered to the Soviets on the Baltic Coast in Poland. So non of then near Austria, I am trying to find more information about Soldat Keller and any information will be a great help. Also I can only assume the grave maker I have was a temporary till the soldier's final interment.
