He was born in Chile to parents of german descent. They returned to Germany before the war where later, as a german citizen, he was conscripted into the army. He died in combat a few days before the end of the war. I do not know whether he retained the chilean nationality. He certainly was german. A tragic waste, he should have stayed in South America.
