[Dirt Detective]

Very nice soldbuch Rob, I just bought my first one and it also is from a 12th SS Hitlerjugend, but not in as good of shape like yours.

Nice and interesting Soldbuch. Also an interesting history and information you found about the man and his unit.

Hurbert Meyer’s most informative and invaluable book on the HJ Division (The History of the 12.SS-Panzer Division) lists 2 casualties (KIA) for the III./26’s combat actions on 07/08.July 1944. The first casualty took place in the evening hours of 07.July 1944 during late-night carpet-bombing runs by the RAF in preparation for the 08.July attack on Caen. So, if the information contained within the Volksbundes Gräbersuche website and Meyer’s book is accurate and correct, Hull was the only individual from the III./SS.Pz.Gren.Rgt.26 listed as being killed on 08.July.

SS-Sturmmann Christian Kutscha, Company Member of Holl, was also Killed in Action on 8. July 1944.

Currently I have 4 KIA's on 8. July 1944 for the III./ 26
