Original WWII German Kriegsgefangenen (Prisoner of War) death record documenting the suspicious death and burial of Dakaew Dshalak, a soldier identified as being from Tschetscheno-Ingusch (Chechen-Ingush) territory.

The German heading “Nachweis über Sterbefall von Kriegsgefangenen” translates to “Record/Certificate of the Death of a Prisoner of War.” This is a particularly interesting named POW document containing substantial biographical, medical, burial, and camp information.

The bottom of the document bears multiple original signatures and official stamps, including a German eagle-and-swastika administrative stamp. Of additional interest is the red “Truppenarzt” (troop physician) stamp identifying “Kdo. Sch. Btl. 780”, accompanied by the physician’s handwritten signature.

This document gives a sobering firsthand record of the fate of an individual POW during the final months of WWII. Dshalak was only 29 years old when he apparently died of pulmonary tuberculosis in German captivity.

The Chechen-Ingush birthplace designation adds considerable historical interest, as it provides a direct connection to a Soviet serviceman originating in the North Caucasus.

Document remains in original period condition, showing expected age toning, handling, edge wear, small tears/creases and two original filing holes. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition and details.

A scarce, named WWII POW archival document with excellent research potential and strong Eastern Front / Soviet POW / Chechen-Ingush historical interest.
