PZV,

That is a fantastic Wehrpaß - Soldbuch set you show us here.
Your man really did see combat during his years as a soldier.
And what can be better than a Tiger tanks unit !!!!

Thanks for showing.

yours friendly

Hello EJ, thanks, I just noted that I put it in the wrong area! He was also possibly in Königstiger as they came in to this unit before he was killed in action.

Super set, one of the best Tiger tank related groups I have ever seen!


Sad that he missed the Westfeldzug, but that is ofcourse just splitting hairs.

Cheers,

Peter, I agree and when I was offered it (the former owner did not know what he had!!), I almost fell over when I saw the entries. I would have loved to have seen some more activity in the west but losses were very high even in the heavily armoured Tiger and some of the fiercest fighting took place in the east.

Nice to see a great set together. Normally the Wehrpass would have gone to next of kin after he was KIA and the Soldbuch to the Wehrbezirk.
