    Did you do research on the flak?

    ->

    Finally, 3 more Wehrpass for the collection. A Flak Wp with Flak Badge entry, and two Infantry Wp's. One is really interesting and has loads of campaign entries. Will be interesting to get the research done on it
    Cheers

          Latest additions.

          First a nicely filled in WP from a soldier that practically served on all fronts before ending the war in a GJ Sani Kompany. There are many entries and despite his sani training he qualified for the IAB. Wounds caused his redployment to the rear echelons as a truck driver.

          Second an Urkunde for the Widows Cross. Been chasing one for a while and the estand, as always obliged, still the best place on the Net to buy

                ...and its corresponding Urkunde signed by RTK General Max Pfeffer co 297th Infantry Division, later captured at Stalingrad. A late war WP of an aufklarer funker of the 12th Panzer Division has also arrived over xmas.

It was involved in the defensive fighting in Jelnja in the Ustrov-Dnepr sector. As part of 4<sup>th</sup> Army it was involved in the fighting to capture Vyazma and Bryansk and formed part of the breakthrough during the Desna battles and the capture of Jelnja. Heinz fought in the battles to capture Volotscheck and advanced to Moscow along the Vyazma-Smolensk highway. As part of AGC, 15<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division was involved in Operation Typhoon and the engagements on the River Nara. As Typhoon froze to a halt, Heinz was caught up in the Soviet counter attack that threw the Wehrmacht back from the very gates of Moscow. The 15<sup>th</sup> had to hold its positions in the Juchnov-Gshatik area and once the Soviets had run out of steam it was involved in operations reducing the Soviet pockets around Vyazma. On the 5<sup>th</sup> May 1942 Heinz was transferred, along with the rest of the 15<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division to 7<sup>th</sup> and later 1<sup>st</sup> Armies on the Western Front for a period of rest and refit. It was given security duties on the Demarcation line with Vichy France and later on the Atlantic Wall. Heinz won all his decorations during his intial fighting on the Eastern Front. On the first of April 1943 the 15<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division was transferred East again and this time placed under the command of 1<sup>st</sup> Panzer Army, and Heinz fought his last actions in the Donetz-Isjum region. It was here that he was killed in action on 20.8.43. He is buried in the Kharkov cemetery block 9, row 12, grave number 524.<o></o>

He served in the Police Force until 1938 when he was called up into the Army. He had already received a number of civilian awards and qualifications and it seems that his background in the Police Force had a direct impact in his early army career. Initially he served in the security detachment of a Bridging Column and then in the Streifen Kompanies in the rear areas of Wehrkreis VI. It was service in these units that Georg was awarded the War Merit Cross Second Class with Swords. The shortage of manpower at the Front got Georg transferred into the 106<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division, more specifically the transport and supply sections of the 106. At this time the 106<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division was deployed on the southern flank of the Eastern Front. Georg, by this time a Stabsfeldwebel, was in charge of a section in the 407<sup>th </sup>Kraftfhar Abteilung. His section was mostly involved in the resupply of ammunition to the Division’s artillery. His war service finished on the 3<sup>rd</sup> of May 1945 when he was discharged. He ended up living with his wife Hanne and their daughter in the British Zone of Occupation.<o></o>

He remained with this unit receiving basic training and instruction until 30.10.38 when he left the Army with the rank of Unteroffiziere de Reserve. He was called up for active duty at the end of July of 1940. He was enlisted as an Unteroffiziere, back dated to the 1<sup>st</sup> July 1940. He got his first taste of action with 9/IR 261, 113<sup>th</sup> Infantry Division. On the opening day of Operation Barbarossa 113<sup>th</sup> Infantry was in reserve in Germany. In July it followed 6<sup>th</sup> Army in its advance into Southern Russia and it got its first action in the rear areas of 6<sup>th</sup> Army against cut off Russian units. Johann took his turn on the frontline along with the rest of his unit in the actions at Zhitomir and against the fortified positions of the Stalin Line. He was wounded by a gunshot on the 30<sup>th</sup> August 1941. While he was recovering in the Ers.Batl.260 his division was transferred as part of LXV Army Corps to Serbia where it would carry out security duties. Johann rejoined his parent division there, and received the Iron Cross second Class for his participation in the Divisions’ battles, and was then moved to Odessa in late January to refit and recover in preparation for Operation Blau that coming summer. It formed part of XI Corps but was suddenly attached to 6<sup>th</sup> Army and was hurried to the frontline to counter the Russian attacks at Kharkov. It was in these battles that Johann was killed in action on the 21<sup>st</sup> May 1942.<o></o>

He entered military service in 1943, probably due to his highly specialised training. He served his time in the colours in a reserve flak unit and received training in the 2cm Flak Gun. Despite his employment he served time with local territorial units in the Duisburg area in January 1940 and again upon his discharge in 1944. He never served outside Germany and it is highly likely that his skills kept him away from a frontline unit and in a factory.<o></o>

His civilian skills were quickly recognised after he had registered in Reichenberg , where the Wehrpass was issued, now know as Liberec in the Czech Republic. He was sworn in on the 10<sup>th</sup> October 1940 in Pillau and was drafted into the 7<sup>th</sup> Luft Bau Batallion. These units built and maintained installations for the Luftwaffe and Rudolf’s unit was deployed in the area of Luft Gau I, East Prussia. Initially he helped build and maintain installations in the homeland but followed his unit into Russia after the onset of Barbarossa. Specifically he was deployed in the operational area of Army Group North, in Latvia. It was because of this service that Rudolf qualified for the OstMedaille which he was granted on the 17<sup>th</sup> July 1942. He left the 7/1 Luft Bau Batallion in October 42 and was transferred to a reserve flak unit (Reserve Flak Abteilung 801). It was a heavy flak unit and he received training in the 8.8 and 12.5 cm Flak guns and as a gun layer. His unit was renamed schwere Flak-Abteilung 801 (o) and was based in Hannover. The 7<sup>th</sup> battery, Rudolf’s, was used to form Schw.Flakbatrr.5975 (z.b.w) which was also stationed in Hannover and tasked with the protection of strategic targets in the city. Hannover was repeatedly bombed by British and American planes during Rudolf’s time of service. He must have seen plenty of action and his battery must have shot down several planes as he was awarded the Flak Badge on 31<sup>st</sup> December 1943. He continued to be in the thick of it until the 20<sup>th</sup> June 1944 when a raid by 169 B-24 Liberators of the 3<sup>rd</sup> Bombardment Group based in England targeted oil installations around the city. Rudolf was severely wounded in the shoulder and died of the wound the following day in Hannover Reserve Lazartte II. Only one bomber was recorded lost over the city during the raid. His remains were taken his home town where he was buried.<o></o>
