Rob, thanks for the compliment. Indeed, Obergefreiter Werner Hadrboletz (only 18 yrs old) took part on the begin date of the Battle of Kursk, 4 July 1943, and was Killed in Action only 3 days later.
It is indeed a very special Wehrpaß to me, or better said his estate (I've more from him - including grave shots and an amazing Panther photograph - hopefully more coming... letters from his KpChef and etcetera...). I am trying to collect as much as possible from the 9. Panzer-Division - in the hope to make a Divisionsgeschichte one day. I collected already some rare material aswell as information- and I hope I can keep doing this - ofcourse with the help from other, which is always appreciated.
If anyone has anything related to the 9. Panzer-Division (and you do not have to sell it - scans/pictures are also really appreciated), please PM me.
