At the most detailed (we're talking identified casualties here), the kriegsgraberfursorge have paperwork that lists details of unit, personal details including NoK, original burial details and dates, sketches of ID tag (if not the original) and, upon discoveries and transfers, a "skeletal" sketch (even detailing which body parts are missing!). At the absolute worst you might be looking at paperwork that simply lists a name (might even be just a christian name) and the current burial place and plot.

See what I mean by "variable"?
