Very Rare WW2 German 1944 SS Panzer Grenadier Josef Schuh 18 Year Old Narwa Death Card

Very rare original WWII German memorial/death card for SS-Panzer-Grenadier Josef Schuh, a farmer’s son from Waltendorf, who was killed on August 6, 1944 during the fighting around Narwa / Narva at only 18 years and 2 months old.
This is a highly desirable and uncommon card due to the named SS-Panzer-Grenadier designation, very young age, and specific combat location connected to the brutal 1944 Narva battles on the Eastern Front.
The front features a striking helmet, Iron Cross, dagger, and laurel memorial design with the quote:
“Wer mutig für sein Vaterland gefallen, der baut sich selbst ein ewig Monument.”
= “He who has bravely fallen for his fatherland builds himself an eternal monument.”
The reverse includes a portrait of Josef Schuh and a mourning poem mentioning burial in Russia:
“Ich ruh’ in Rußlands kühlem Grabe…”
= “I rest in Russia’s cold grave…”
The main text reads:
“Prayer remembrance for the young hero Josef Schuh, farmer’s son of Waltendorf, SS-Panzer-Grenadier, who on August 6, 1944 during the fighting around Narwa, at the age of 18 years and 2 months, met a soldier’s death for his beloved homeland. May he rest in peace.”
