Sorry for a typo in my earlier posting.The place I suggested for Doberboat is spelled Tobelbad.Nearby are the villages of Dobl and Dobldorf.
You should try to locate the death record of Hans or Johann Reicher.Write to the Standesamt (civil recording office) of Graz.State that Hans Reicher likely died in a hospital, sometimes in 1944 or 1945.
Other postings in this thread have suggested Dobersdorf in Burgenland as the correct spelling for Doberboat.Interestingly, since Burgenland did not exist in the Third Reich, Dobersdorf would have been in Styria in 1944.However, it could not have been deemed as near Graz.In my view, it would also be hard to see any phonetic similarity between -dorf and -boat.
