Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The original WWII draft card is legible. It shows Frank Konecny, born August 20, 1895, in Czechoslovakia, living in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The birth date matches the claim exactly. The specific birthplace (Svatý Štěpán) is not stated, so the place part of the claim is only consistent and would need another source.
Matches: Name Frank Konecny is the English form of František Konecny; Date of birth written as August 20, 1895, matching the claimed birth date; Age 46 is consistent with an August 1895 birth for a 1942 registration (before the August birthday it would be 46); Birthplace is Czechoslovakia, which fits a birth in Moravia
Limits: Place of birth is given only as 'Czechoslovakia, Europe', with no town, so Svatý Štěpán, Bylnice, and Brumov parish cannot be confirmed; The card does not name parents or a hometown, so identity with this particular František rests on name and birth date; The card does not give a death date, so it says nothing about the 1976 end of his life span; Czechoslovakia did not exist in 1895; the card uses the 1942 country name for a Moravian birthplace
