    Soldbuch to Knights Cross winner - Help

    Hello Gentlemen,
    I am very pleased to have just acquired the soldbuch from Knights Cross winner Hauptmann Wolfgang Hasche. I would like to thank Mike Davis for his kind help in tracking this down for me.
    Hasche won his RK for service durrning the Normandy and Falaise campaigns in 1944. He went on to serve in the Ardennes offensive, the Battle of the Bulge, where he was wounded again, receiving his Gold wound badge. The BundesArchives show him as MIA in February 1945 durring the chaos, but chances are he was captured. The grouping includes his dogtag, his hand inked black wound badge document for the Polish campaign of 1939 and an original photo of Hasche wearing the RK!
    Here is where I am looking for help... Kai Winkler apparently sold Hasche's preliminary RK document, formal DKiG document, EK2, and other documents (EK1 missing?). I contacted Kai, but he does not have records as to who purchased the documents. I would love to track down the collector who now owns them to see if we could re-unite the grouping, or at least to get some nice copies of the documents.
    Any help in finding these documents, or just finding more information about the final condition of Hasche at war's end, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Curtiss

                    Hi Curtiss,

                    No doubt you have this info:

                    Hauptmann Hasche, Wolfgang
                    Born 23.2.1917 in Hamburg
                    Died 27.11.2005 in Eckernförde
                    Ritterkreuz on 3.11.1944 as Hauptmann der Reserve und Kommandeur I Bataillon, Grenadier Regiment 987
                    Deutsches Kreus in Gold on 1.12.1943 as Hauptmann und Kompanie Chef 6/Grenadier Regiment 163

                    From Winklers site:

                    5572
                    URKUNDENKONVOLUT DES RITTERKREUZTRÄGERS Hauptmann Wolfgang Hasche I./Gren.Rgt.987.

                      A pity that I can't help you, but I must say this is a hell of a SB!
                      Would perfectly fit in my collection area: Battle of the Bulge Sb's/Wp's

                      Congratulations and if you ever decide to part with it, I'm your man

                        Hello Gentlemen,
                        Thank you for the nice comments. I am hoping that someone can yet track down the buyer of the documents...
                        Here is the erkennungsmarke, which as you can see, matches the entry in the soldbuch.
                        Thank you,
                        Curtiss

                            That doc is special in itself, one of if not the earliest i've seen.
