Has he been named or is he unknown?

As he was found last week, I will take months before any new information will turn up. the remains are now with Dutch War Grave unit.

Was the Erkennungsmarke found on him or near him? If it was on him the body should be easy to identify.

on the body, this is not always the case, although there is an EM, its not sure if they documents are known at the WASt, german war grave commision, as a number of documents were lost during bombardments during the war.
