22. German soldiers at the General Cemetery in Dordrecht

This photo is an image of German soldiers of Infantry Regiment 16 visiting the graves at the General Cemetery. The distinctive building of the reception hall is clearly visible in this photo.

On the right side of the image, the names on the three graves on the far right can still clearly be read. All three are Fallschirmjäger. From left to right:

Gefreiter Karl Kunz:
On the Zuidfront website he is listed as Gerhard Kunz. Karl was likely his call name; in any case, he is buried here as Karl Kunz. He was presumably killed at the Tongplaats as part of the Ersatzkompanie Moll, which suffered heavy losses due to a poorly organised landing on 11 May, right in the middle of Dutch units of 28 RI.

Gefreiter Helmuth Czora:
Part of the staff of I./FJR 1, he was deployed to secure the riverbank between the Tweede Tol and Wieldrecht and was shot in the head on 12 May 1940.

Oberjäger Heinz Morawietz:
Killed on 10 May 1940 during the assault on the barracks camp near the Tweede Tol.
