How to find your relative - participant of the Great Patriotic War by last name, how can I find out information about his awards, military ranks, military path and place of death? This memo will help you collect the most detailed information about your ancestor, a participant in the Second World War.
1 Disassemble family archives
Ask your family and friends, sort through family archives and write down all the information which you will recognize. Special attention pay attention to letters and official documents from the front - the postal stamp contains the number of the military unit.
The transcript can be found on the website www.soldat.ru
2 Consult Databases
First of all, check the electronic archives:
Enter the veteran's information in the search fields.
If you don't find anything - try it various options writing first name, last name and place of birth.
If the surname is common, use the advanced search and enter additional information.
Check your databases regularly— they are constantly updated and new information about your soldier may appear.
Look beyond the search results that appear at the top! Study the entire document - it's there additional information. If the document is multi-page, open title page— there may be a part number. Knowing the unit number, you can determine the unit's combat path.
Check out Memory Books— they are stored in military registration and enlistment offices, archives, and local history museums. Information about soldiers was entered into the books according to three criteria: place of birth, place of conscription and place of burial. If there is no information, contact the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War (Moscow, Pobeda Square, 3, index 121096) - all books published before 1996 are stored there.
3 Send a request to the official archives
- in the metric book (stored in regional archives)
- in civil registration records (stored in regional archives or in civil registry offices)
- in household books (stored in the archives of district administrations)
- in personal files (kept at companies)
4 Make a request to the military registration and enlistment office
Do written request to the military registration and enlistment office— indicate in it all the information you have about the veteran (full name, year and place of birth, place of conscription, rank, etc.).
If possible, visit the military registration and enlistment office in person. Before visiting, be sure to:
- Copy the sheets of the draft books containing information about soldiers drafted on the same day as your relative.
- Check all names through the Memorial OBD website (www.obd-memorial.ru)
There is a possibility that they were sent to the same place as your relative.
5 Find out where your relative served
Knowing the unit number (division, battalion, etc.), you can understand exactly where and when your ancestor fought. The battle path can be traced on the “Memory of the People” website
The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 is a terrible grief, the wounds from which are still bleeding. During those terrible years, the total loss of life in our country is estimated at approximately 25 million people, 11 million of whom were soldiers. Of these, approximately six million are “officially” considered dead.
In this case, it is believed that relatives at least know where they died and were buried. dear person. All the rest are missing/captured and never returned. The statistics are scary. Not only have we lost so many soldiers, we also have no idea where half of them are! Be that as it may, the relatives of the dead and missing do not despair and continue to search. For which we praise them.
But how to find a dead soldier in the Second World War, especially if you don’t have any decent experience in this? In this article we have collected the most general recommendations, which, nevertheless, can help you in this difficult matter. By the way, the found remains of German soldiers are identified in Germany using approximately the same algorithm. Of course, adjusted for more accurate and complete information from the archives.
Things to remember
Firstly, immediately tune in to hard and painstaking work. According to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, at least 40 thousand people went missing in Russia in 2004 alone! Just think about these numbers: in the age of digital technology, total tracking of train and plane tickets, people “manage” to disappear on a truly industrial scale. Many of them are never found.
Now think about how difficult it can be to find a person who disappeared in the midst of hostilities (especially in the initial period of the war). So don’t despair when you experience the first difficulties.
Where to start
You must clearly know your first name, last name and patronymic. Since finding a dead soldier in WWII can be very difficult, you should remember this data especially clearly. Try to remember: did the person have a habit of somehow changing his first or last name? It happens that because of this, the soldier could not be found for several decades, until, quite by accident, they remembered that Elisha called himself Alexei, Prokofy in the hands of the clerk turned into Peter...
If a person’s surname could be perceived incorrectly by ear, look for more or less among everyone suitable options. So, Perevozchikov may well be Perevoshchikov. In short, finding a WWII soldier can be very difficult.
Other initial information
In addition, you need to know where and when the person was called. As a rule, this data is relatively easy to find. If there are at least some letters, postcards, official documents from those years that mentioned the unit in which the soldier fought, collect them all. Place it on the map and trace your route military unit, check with official sources. This is how you can find a WWII soldier with only the most general information.
Of course, it can be difficult to say when a person died from whom letters stopped coming: it is quite possible that there was simply a glitch postal service, and the soldier was alive for several more months, during which the unit managed to cover many hundreds of kilometers. But in a number of cases such a search yields results.
Pay special attention to the fact of severe injuries. It is known that many people died from their wounds. As a rule, they were buried in sanitary burials in the immediate vicinity of the hospital. Sometimes documents about the fact of burial were preserved, and sometimes not. Simply put, if the last letter from a soldier came from the hospital when the person wrote about his injury, it is quite possible that he died there.
Alas, in this case you will have to be upset: it is very difficult to look for such burial places. You will have to rummage through the archives and track the route of a specific one. Firstly, this is very long and difficult. Secondly, there are few guarantees for success. And further. Most often, soldiers were buried en masse in sanitary burials, often in their underwear. No medallions, no marks on the map... So often you can only count on more or less exact location burials.
Type of army
Oddly enough, this information is often given the very last importance. Attention! Before you find a dead soldier in the Second World War, find out as accurately as possible which troops he served in: information about the dead is stored in different archives. Let's summarize. At first, you need to find out the most basic information: full name, date and place of conscription, number of the unit in which the soldier served, as well as at least the approximate date of his death.
Searching on the Internet
IN Lately this direction has gained great popularity, but you shouldn’t rely too much on it: there is no general database, various sources draw information from archives, etc. However, it’s still worth a try. If you haven’t found any data, don’t rush to despair: contact the resource owners and describe your problem. In the case when they work directly with documents, specialists may well know some nuances, or give useful tips, even to the point of helping you in your search.
So (theoretically) you can find a WWII soldier by last name. Of course, there is a greater chance of success if the surname was quite original. Otherwise, you will have to sort through hundreds of options.
Also, don’t forget to visit genealogy websites and archive resources. Send inquiries to the Ministry of Defense: it is quite possible that there is at least some information about where and when the serviceman served before his death or disappearance. And further. No one is responsible for the accuracy of the information on such sites. There is no guarantee that the information will be correct.
By the way. Before you find a dead soldier in WWII, try to find out at least something about his colleagues. It often happens that people who died on the same day are buried in the same place. Moreover, information about some of them reached their relatives, while other relatives remained in complete ignorance about the fate of their relative.
Try to find like-minded people who are also searching for their loved ones who fought in those places or the same unit. Together, it will be more convenient for you to coordinate your efforts: someone can search on the Internet, while the rest will work on the archives.
Books of memory
Almost every local history museum has information about soldiers who were drafted and died. In places along which the front line passed, in these documents you can often find a list of names of soldiers who died and were buried here. Also pay attention to the monuments: they also have granite steles on which are carved the names and surnames of those soldiers who died during the liberation of a particular locality.
Paradoxically, this information often turns out to be much more detailed than information from completely official sources. Remember that almost everyone has a Book of Memory large city. Contact people on citywide forums: if one of them has access to this document, he may well check whether it contains information about your desired relative. This is how you can find a WWII soldier by last name.
Requests to the archives
For some reason, it is believed that all information about the dead is stored only in the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense, but this is not so. If your relative served in the navy, naval aviation or some coastal services, then information about him should be looked for in the Navy archive located in the city of Gatchina.
The most difficult thing happens in cases where a person belongs to the military various parts NKVD. Their archive is located in Moscow, in the State Military Archive. But some of the information on employees of the NKVD and SMERSH is still classified, so the likelihood of such data being released is very low. In any case, it is simply impossible to find the grave of a WWII soldier from special units.
What makes the search extremely difficult is the fact that relatives did not always know about the real specifics of service in such units. Often, according to documents, they served in ordinary infantry units, but they themselves fought in a completely different area.
To obtain information about a soldier from these archives, you need to write (it is highly advisable to print) a letter indicating brief information about the soldier, his name, patronymic, rank... In a word, all the basic information. Be sure to include a clean envelope and stamps with the letter, as this will significantly speed up the receipt of a response message.
If you do not know the military rank of the missing person at all, or you have reason to believe that he could have been awarded the rank of officer, write as follows6 “Please also check the information on departments 6, 9 and 11.” The fact is that these sections of the archive store information on all military ranks and ranks. We warn you right away that the funding for this institution is very meager, and therefore it is quite possible to wait up to six months or longer for an answer from it.
Simply put, if possible, it is best to visit the archive in person and ask all your questions there. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to find a soldier by last name (if you have no other data), but if you have more information, the chance of success is quite high.
Analysis of archive request results
It should be understood that even in war conditions, losses were actually recorded in sufficient detail and this information was sent for storage. Each unit regularly reported to the Central Headquarters on irretrievable losses, and the reports indicated lists of names, rank, date and place of death, information about relatives and burial place.
If a serviceman is classified as missing, it means that he was absent from the unit for some time, and his search, which (theoretically) should have taken 15 days, did not yield any results. There were a lot of missing people in the initial period of the war. This is due to the fact that at that time many units were completely destroyed, all their documents were lost or deliberately destroyed by the command during the retreat.
Note that in this case it is almost impossible to find a missing soldier. All that remains is to search through regional and local memory books.
Important! It very often happened that a person who was wounded and lagged behind his unit, after lying in the hospital, fought in another unit. At this time, the funeral service arrived from the first. It often happened that there were no survivors, the person actually “disappeared.” Try searching again throughout the CIS. Often relatives are found by soldiers who “died” a long time ago.
The man was demobilized, realized that he had nowhere to go, and therefore stayed in the place he liked. Relatively recently, one family found their grandfather, who was considered dead a long time ago (two funerals), but since 1946 he had been living quietly in Estonia. So it won’t hurt to contact the local governments of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic, etc. In general, find Soviet soldier who died on the territory of these countries can be very difficult.
Answer options from the archive
Thus, four possible answers may come from the archive in response to your request:
The most desirable option is when information comes about the fighter’s full name, his rank, unit, date and place of death, and place of burial.
A message indicating the military unit, as well as the date and place of the disappearance.
You may receive a response indicating the supposed location of the loss (the first months of the war) and the supposed number of the military unit, which was often obtained from close relatives based on the results of their survey (the unit number was on the postmarks of the last letter, if there was one).
A message about the complete absence of data on a serviceman in the file of irretrievable losses. As we have already said, this is due to the death of a soldier in the first months of the war, when reports from the unit were simply not sent due to its complete death.
If you received the first two answers, then consider yourself lucky: from now on, you can arm yourself with maps and look for the resting place of your ancestor (at least supposedly). This is how you can find the burial place of a WWII soldier.
Other cases
These include death in hospital (which we have already mentioned), death in German captivity or the probable release of a fighter from it with subsequent inspection by NKVD officers.
If you have an assumption that a soldier died from his wounds in a hospital, you need to send a request to the Military Medical Museum (more precisely, its archive). If the last letter contains information about an injury (written by a friend, for example), but there is no information about treatment, you will have to arm yourself with reference books and maps and find out which specific military field hospitals operated in those places.
In the event that you expect the capture of a serviceman, you should also send a request to the central archive of the Ministry of Defense: at the moment, a little more than 300 thousand cards of soldiers who died in German captivity are stored there. Maybe you'll get lucky.
Many people are wondering where to find the PDA of a missing soldier? PDA in this case is the personal matter of the amnestied, or more precisely, “filtered” fighter. The fact is that the soldiers released from captivity were checked by the NKVD. If there were no reasons to find fault with him, then often separate documents were not drawn up at all. In all other cases, duplicate cards must be available in the FSB archives.
Here's how to find a soldier who died in WWII. We really hope that our advice has helped you in some way.

How to find your relative - a participant in the Great Patriotic War by last name, how to find out information about his awards, military ranks, military path and place of death? This memo will help you collect the most detailed information about your ancestor, a participant in the Second World War.
1 Sort out family archives
Ask your family and friends, sort through family archives and write down all the information which you will recognize. Pay special attention to letters and official documents from the front - the postal stamp contains the number of the military unit.
The transcript can be found on the website www.soldat.ru
2 Consult Databases
First of all, check the electronic archives:
Enter the veteran's information in the search fields.
If you don't find anything - try different spellings of your first name, last name and place of birth.
If the surname is common, use the advanced search and enter additional information.
Check your databases regularly— they are constantly updated and new information about your soldier may appear.
Look beyond the search results that appear at the top! Please read the entire document for more information. If the document is multi-page, open the title page - there may be a part number there. Knowing the unit number, you can determine the unit's combat path.
Check out Memory Books— they are stored in military registration and enlistment offices, archives, and local history museums. Information about soldiers was entered into the books according to three criteria: place of birth, place of conscription and place of burial. If there is no information, contact the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War (Moscow, Pobeda Square, 3, index 121096) - all books published before 1996 are stored there.
3 Send a request to the official archives
- in the metric book (stored in regional archives)
- in civil registration records (stored in regional archives or in civil registry offices)
- in household books (stored in the archives of district administrations)
- in personal files (kept at companies)
4 Make a request to the military registration and enlistment office
Do written request to the military registration and enlistment office— indicate in it all the information you have about the veteran (full name, year and place of birth, place of conscription, rank, etc.).
If possible, visit the military registration and enlistment office in person. Before visiting, be sure to:
- Copy the sheets of the draft books containing information about soldiers drafted on the same day as your relative.
- Check all names through the Memorial OBD website (www.obd-memorial.ru)
There is a possibility that they were sent to the same place as your relative.
5 Find out where your relative served
Knowing the unit number (division, battalion, etc.), you can understand exactly where and when your ancestor fought. The battle path can be traced on the “Memory of the People” website
Search for WWII participants by last name. Memory of the People (Feat of the People) - website of the Ministry of Defense: search for soldiers by last name for free, database of WWII participants 1941-1945, complete archive.
Link to the official website. Instructions for searching for a soldier by name 1941-1945. Authentic documents about the Second World War.
Search on the website Memory of the People
Hello everyone who doesn’t know, I want to tell you about this site" Memory of the people". This is not an advertisement, I just saw news about the site on TV one day and decided to check it out. My grandfather Sergei Ilyich went to the front at the beginning of the war. Called from the village of Ulyanovka in Bashkortostan. That’s where I was when I found him on the site, my grandmother kept saying casually, “I wonder if he’s still alive and lost somewhere, or found someone else after the war.” There was no funeral for her, as far as I understand, my grandfather was listed as missing.
She told touching stories. When the guys from the village went to war, they said, “We won’t come back,” that in the war they were now shooting from the sky. And I decided to find any information about him.
How to find a relative on the People's Memory website?
I just typed in his initials and place of birth and immediately saw the following:
You can enter your initials on the official website “Memory of the People: Ministry of Defense website searching for a soldier 1941-1945.” The site is available at the link: https://pamyat-naroda.ru/.
I didn’t believe it right away, but you can’t help but believe such detailed information. Apparently, he was captured after the first battles, at the very beginning of the war on September 9, 1941. He died in February '42. Not only is this information in itself comprehensive, I also found a German document.
My surprise knew no bounds. Prisoner of war camp Shtablak. (If there are people who know German, please translate the lines in the right column, I would be very grateful).
In the lower right corner, the first and last name of my grandmother, Vera Makarova, village of Ulyanovka, Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Aurgazinsky district, is written in HAND. All the details. I don’t know why when I see this document I feel uneasy. The Germans are incredibly pedantic. I hope I helped someone, good luck to everyone, learn about the heroes of your families.
Attention! If your search does not give the desired result, we strongly recommend visiting the Feat of the People website. The portals “Feat of the People” and “Memory of the People” (described above) are friendly and have the same essence, but some users have confusion between them. Meanwhile, we wish you successful searches for loved ones and congratulate you on the approaching Day great Victory! Hooray!
