Nix German Soldiers of WW2

This list is far from complete. Most of the information in it has been provided by WW2 researchers, rather than Nix researchers, so the listings are very random depending on the subject of historical expertise of the submitter. Additional Nix soldiers from WW2 who were KIA or MIA are on the German War dead lists. Some of this information is in German, and no.. I can't translate it, but welcome help from those who can! One thing I should draw to your attention is that dates are written in the format of day, month, year which is a little different from how American dates are usually listed. If researchers or descendents have additional information about any of the German Nix soldiers from WW2, we encourage you to contact us. We plan to include additional facts about each soldier as they become available, and your assistance in providing life histories, copies of photos and letters, etc would be invaluable. I would like to thank those researchers who have sent in information on their relatives already.
