Newspaper clipping

[PatBateman]

Just won this for 1 Euro. They say death card which is a little sneaky, it actually seems to be a newspaper clipping judging by the description. But I like it, for the price. What do you reckon?

Well, you will know when you receive it.

Interesting anyway.

He is not mentioned in the German wargraves register, but there is a Josef Haistracher, KIA 9 November 1943. Maybe a relative, Haistracher seems to be rare name.

Thanks for the info. So I guess the SS used HJ kids as radio operators. Wonder how he was killed.

Edit: There are only a few hits on the German telephone book website. I could send a copy to the people and ask if it's a family member. Maybe they would be interested in telling me more if I found the right one. Couldn't hurt to politely ask.

OK I'm bumping this thread because the item arrived. It is indeed a newspaper clipping. Wonder if the back says anything interesting.
