Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The card is legible and shows Joseph John Konecny, born Feb 17 1901, age 40, living in Milwaukee. The name and exact birth date match the claim. The birth place 'Bohemia' is general, and Moravia is not Bohemia in the strict sense, though immigrants often used 'Bohemia' for the Czech lands. So the date is supported, but the specific place is not confirmed.
Matches: Name Joseph John Konecny matches Joseph Konecny; Date of birth Feb 17, 1901 matches the claimed 17 February 1901; Age 40 is consistent with a 1901 birth for a 1940-42 registration; Place of birth given as Bohemia, a broad region consistent with a Czech birth
Flags: Card gives birth place as 'Bohemia', whereas the claim places birth in Moravia (Svatý Štěpán, Bylnice); likely a loose country/region label by the registrant, but not an exact match
Limits: Birth place is only 'Bohemia'; it does not name Svatý Štěpán, Bylnice or Brumov parish; The card does not show that this Milwaukee man is the same person as the one in the database; identity rests on name and date; A draft card is self-reported and not a birth record
