Here is an interesting SB to an officer cadet at Metz Schule VI during the battle, entitled to the Armband Metz 1944. Comes with a slip with his award number 26, entitled to wear said CT whilst at the Schule.If transferred the CT was to be removed.Here is something about Her Muller:
Footnote: Wiard Müller was born on 15 October 1922 in Engerhafe to parents Johann and Else Müller. He received a SA Sportabzeichen in bronze on 12 November 1940. He initially served in the 4th Battery of Heavy Artillery Replacement Battalion II, Artillerie-Regiment 211, located in Düsseldorf, and later in the 1st Division of Artillerie-Ersatz-Abteilung (Artillery Replacement Department) 211 in Aachen. He received the rank of Gefreiter on 1 October 1942. On 29 January 1943, he was transferred to Artillerie Regiment 195, which, at that time, was intended for Russia, attached to the Army Group Centre in the town of Rzhev. On 1 March 1943, Müller was promoted to the rank of Unteroffizier. That same month he was shot and wounded. He recovered from his wounds at Reserve Lazarett Ostrow and received a Wound Badge, Black Grade. From April to May of 1943, Müller moved to Reserve Lazarett Ausburg to recover from nerve and mental illnesses. He was also awarded with an Iron Cross, II Class. Müller seems to have been wounded again and sent to Reserve Lazarett Mölln for bullet wounds. He received a promotion to Wachtmeister R.O.B.
