If you say it has a killer photo we would also like to see it offcourse.

[5thFallschirm.]

Here also a small contribution from me in this topic. 2 Soldbucher of the 5. Fallschirmjäger Division, the unit which I collect.

The first SB is from a Unteroffizier in the Fallschirm Panzer Jäger Abteilung 5. Holder of the Kriegsverdienstenkreuz m. Schw. II Klasse, German / Italian Kriegserinnerungsmedaille, Goldkordel zum Ärmeltätigkeitsabzeichen der Luftwaffe, Geschwaderband "Horst Wessel" and the Armelband "Afrika".

The second pass is not very special but striking is the photo in the booklet. In the photo, the soldier, has his eyes closed.
He was in the Fallschirm Feldersatz Battalion 5 and was also present in the Bulge.
But taken off the line mid January 1945 due to Sepsis or gangrene.
In March 1945 he was transferred to the Fallschirmjäger Ersatz Bataillon 3, and recieved a FJ Helmet.


Kind regards,

Nick

very interesting documents here, I was lucky to pick this one up recently, he was part of the 326 Volkesgrenadier Reg, wounded in Jan 45 I believe in the area of St Vith

Hi Any other ones ?

Nicolas, here is another BotB soldbuch i just got:

Theodor Glatt, he was KIA on 24-12-1944.
His last unit was Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 74, from the 2. Panzer-Division.
Pretty nasty soldbuch, especialy in the back flap of the soldbuch
It has a schrapnell hole that went through the whole soldbuch.
Including a bunch of papers in the back, which have never been seperated since this event (they still glue to each other because of the blood).
On the square paper in the back his batterieführer wrote that Theodor shot down 2 American Mustangs on the 9th of May, 1944.
No medals written in the soldbuch.

Does anyone know what Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 74 had as weapons?
Was only the first Bataillon motorized artillerie (Sfl) or also the others?
