Can anyone advise how I might find out where the following person is buried please. I don't have a great deal of information other than:
Gunter Heinrich Polke, born in Neustadt am Neisse (now called Prudnik in Poland) and died on 10 November 1943 in Kiev, USSR.
Thank you in advance.

Many thanks ArgyllGran. I am doing this research for a Chelsea Pensioner (I volunteer at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea). I will let him know about these two websites. I'm grateful for your help.
Take care,
Ron
