Commission Makes Decision on Remains

Without any living relatives, Danish authorities delegated the decision to the German War Graves commission. This commission deals with funerals of soldiers from World War II. It was decided by the Commission that they would handle the body. Wunderlich’s body would be sent back to Germany. Germans recorded his death officially on March 5, 1945 in the City Hall of Holenbrunn. Yet, there was more before the body and everything else could be laid to rest.
