[HouweTrouwe]

Does anyone has some Wehrpaß or Soldbuch to show from soldiers that fought on the Oderfront in 1945? Preferbably but not necesarry are the places Stettin, Altdamm, Mescherin, Stargard and Prenzlau. Many thanks! Due research purposes.

I have a few Soldbücher to SS and Heer personnel, including one SS-Soldbuch to a soldier who served with "30.Januar" - he survived the the Oder front and was KIA in the Halbe pocket... however none of them are fully researched yet and I have no plans on posting them online anytime soon.

I would be very interrested to see those kind of documents as well

Rob, do any of those happen to be in your "For sale" box?

I´m checking my books now, but it proves harder then i thought.. most are about the area below that.

Found this single info so far, it might help you:

Officer Cadet Corporal Hans Kirchhof who was in Fortress Gun-turret Company 12/11 said that his Company and 2 other gun-turret company´s
concisted of 3 platoons (zug´s) each with 4 turrets in each zug. Each turret had a crew of 5 man.
Hans went to Küstrin, but wrote that at least one company (with 12 turrets as well) went to Stettin.
Oh, and those gun turrets are Panther tank turrets, they where supposed to be put on a woodenframe, with a earth/wood dug-out (bunker).

I assume you allready know the "big" units involved in the attack from Stargard ?

[Admiraal]

Oh and almost forgot, this unit as well: 1. Marine-Infanterie-Division
I got a Verwundetenzettel which is most likely from that unit: Click me.

Wow, i did not expect it, but i was able to find out which Panther-turret unit was in Stettin!

Für den Osten:
(Aufstellung gefordert durch Org.Abt. am 19.11.1944 mit v.b. zum 31.12.1944)
Festungs-(Pantherturm) Kp. 1211
Festungs-(Pantherturm) Kp. 1212
Festungs-(Pantherturm) Kp. 1213 (23.3.1945 Kp. im Brückenkopf Stettin zerschlagen, gilt als aufgelöst)

So, 1211 went to Küstrin and 1212 must have been to Frankfurt an der Oder (as that was the last city name of the 3 mentioned).
