Thanks for your time and knowledge

Willi Herzberg perhaps, but can you also show page 1,3 and 4, as his name is written there too by different hand, and now I have to go from the signature only.

Interesting Wehrpass of the 326. ID. This divison was first located in southern France and later, in Pas de Calais (as written in your Wp), and arrived in Normandy during the two last weeks of july for the first elements. She fought in place of the 2. Pz Division in Caumont area (south-west of Caen) and was taken in the Falaise pocket. No information for after.

There is no detail about history of the division but you can see in low of this page :
-betweeen 11. 12. 42 and 8. 1. 44 : "Küstenschütz an der Mittelmeerküste" (protection de la côte méditerranéenne)
-since 8. 1. 44 : "Küstenschütz an der Kanalküste" (protection des côtes de la Manche).
A often in the wehrpass, the fights of sommer 44 are not written. Sometimes, the list of inscriptions stops in 42 or 43 !!
Read your PM box.
