From what I know his body has never been found, his adjutant was shot in the back of the neck.
Uscha meyer - do you have any specific information on the death of VK ?
The recently published "The Face of Courage" cannot say more than that the body of his adjutant was found , shot in the back of the neck - of VK there was no sign - it is logical to conclude that he was killed and not honourably so but by whom , how or where - these details are not mentioned. (? unknown).

A very good photo of the man.
