Next up is a Soldbuch to a member of Sturmgeschütz-Batterie "Großdeutschland" which was issued to Johann Wollmann on 27.June 1940 through leichte-Art.Ers.Abt.116. Wollmann
served first in the Stabsbatterie/Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 192 which, on 07.Feb.1941, was renamed Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung "Großdeutschland." After the renaming, Wollmann served initially in the 2.Batterie/StuG.Abt."Großdeutschland" then the Stabsbatterie, and finally from late 1944 through wars end in the Versorgungskompanie/StuG.Brigade "Großdeutschland" which, from September onwards was part of Panzergrenadier-Division "Brandenburg."
Wollmann was awarded the black wound badge and EKII in late 1941 through StuG.Abt.192, then the eastern front medal in 1942 and the KVK.II with swords in January of 1944; both
of these through StuG.Abt."Großdeutschland." The Soldbuch is chock full of entries including one that notes Wollmann received a P38 on 5.April 1945. There's an entry in Czech on page3 dated 10.May 1945: "Hlášen na pos. vel. (posádkovém velitelstvÃ) Tábor" (translation: Reported on garrison headquarters, city of "Tábor") and a second entry on page 8c:
"Zbraně odevzdal v obci Bernardov okres K. Hora" which, when translated, says "Weapons handed over in the village of Bernardov, district Kutná Hora." Many thanks to member
"bubble" for assistance with the translations!
It's difficult to see them in the scan but Wollmann's "GD" embroidered ciphers are definitely visible on his shoulder straps in his portrait photo.Last edited by Rob Johnson; 05-24-2012, 11:29 PM.Comment

Here's a Soldbuch to a member of Panzer-Regiment "Brandenburg" who started out in Pz.Rgt.26 (Pz.Rgt.26 was officially re-designated Panzer-Regiment "Brandenburg" in January 1945). No awards listed unfortunately, but there's a nice portrait photo of him wearing a black wrap and on page 11 there's an entry which states he is cleared to serve in tropical climates.Comment
