I've closed the merge discussion (above): Apart from anything else, this person is notable enough as a Knight's Cross winner, while the death of all three in one action has it's own notability.
OTOH the "Death in battle" section is just a duplication of the "Brothers" article, so I've deleted it. I trust that is OK with everyone. Xyl 54 ( talk) 17:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC) reply
