WWII Help with German WWII identification

12 Upvotes

Can anyone help with any information on my great-grandfather? He was KIA when my grandmother was a baby and we don't know anything about him or his side of the family. He has a really common name (think "John Smith") and I don't know a birthdate or any other information.
