A few more details for the following:

KULINSKA, Anastazja - Szeregowiec - 2792152 - the Lincolnshire Echo of August 13th 1946 reported the inquest into her death, and reported:

The jury returned a verdict that the husband, 30 years old Pte. Damien Kulinski, murdered his 28 year old W.A.A.F. wife, Anastazja Kulinska, and then shot himself.
Evidence was given that Kulinski, who had just arrived in this country, from Italy, came to Lincolnshire to search for his wife. When he found her, said witnesses, he seemed to be in a state of some excitement. The two were seen to go out together, and shots were heard later.
The Coroner, Capt. R. H. Helmer, told the jury that [a] letter from the husband was a most material piece of evidence. In it, he said, "The time has come for a settlement and the only thing left is one life together or one grave together. Therefore, please choose yourself."

UK
SCHUMANN, Kurt - GAF - the Hampshire Telegraph of July 19th 1946 reported the following:

POWs KILLED IN BORDON CRASH
Lorry Overturns
Hermann Woost (23), foremerly of the Waffen S.S., and Kurt Schumann (29), of the Luftwaffe, were among other prisoners in a lorry which overturned on the Farnham-Bordon Road at Sleaford, Bordon, on Thursday week, and received fatal injuries.
At the inquest on Monday a verdict of "accidental death" was recorded.
P.C. Jones, Whitehill, said the road was covered with storm sand and silt. Thomas Herbert Lord...said he was driving a prty of 15 prisoners back to their quarters at Aldershot. The lorry skidded; he tried to correct the skid, and, seeing [an] approaching car, swerved into the Frensham road to avoid it. Just on entering the road, the lorry turned a complete somersault and finished up on the bank. His speed was about 25 miles per hour.
