Just got a nifty WP from a soldier who served with the 10th Panzer Division in Tunisia. Entry shows that he was medically evacuated 22 Feb 1943 due to an infected knee when his regiment was 8 Km east of Thala, approximately 20 Km north of Kasserine. When he joined the division while it was still in France, he took part in the suppression of the British Commando Landing at Dieppe.

10th Panzer Division Wehrpass
Although this young soldier was medically evacuated to the Mainland, where he served out another year in Landeschuetz-Battalions before being discharged, he was never awarded the Afrika Cuff Title, even though he was clearly entitled to it. You don't see many documents from 10th Panzer veterans who served in North Afrika, this is the second one I've found and the first one who fought at Kasserine Pass. -
