Lets see your Panzer crew member Soldbuchs

19th Pz Division Signals Crewmember

Here is a scrap of paper that came with the soldbuch. It is written in Russian and I was told it is a request to have some pictures which were taken from him returned. I was also told that he apparently recieved his photos back. If you check the date it is 1957. This would be 12 years in Russian captivity!

AJ - lovely photo!


cpt1992: Some very nice Soldbücher you have in your collection. Notice on the replacement StuG.Abt.920 book that it would appear the photo was removed from his old Soldbuch and re-attached in this one. You can make out the old stamps on the photo from when it was originally stamped, as well as the old staple holes.

The 19.Panzer-Division Soldbuch is a great one, too. According to the stamps on the photo, it looks as though it was applied through the Abteilung's 1.Kraftwagen-Werkstatt-Kompanie... are there any entries for this unit? You posted only a few pages from the book so it's difficult for me to tell, but judging from the dated entries are you able to determine if he was with the 19.Panzer-Division during August of 1944? If so, then there is a good chance he may have taken part in the suppression of the 1944 Warsaw uprising (at the time of the uprising, 19.Pz.Div. was under the command of the IV.SS Panzer-Korps and was sent to assist in the suppression). I don't see any leave entries for this time frame, and as the PAB in Bronze entry dated Feb.45 was awarded through the 19.Pz.Division there's a good chance he could have.

Definitely worth looking in to...
