Stabsehelferinnen Einsatzbuch

[PzV]

I picked up this Einsatzbuch für Stabshelferinnen des Heeres today at Flonheim and found it quite interesting,

[PzV]

It is unfortunately missing the photo but I did find some interesting things

[PzV]

She was initially with Ortskommandantur 320 and later with Panzer A.O.K. 3

if you look at the bottom of page 2 you will see that she got married to SS Oberscharführer Adolf Kirchweg who was at Feldpost number 15437

this Feldpost number as of 25 Jan., 1943 was for the Kommandeur der Sicherheitspolizei SD Riga

[PzV]

on page 9 she is stationed at OKH Fremde Heere Ost as of 26 JAN, 1943, from 1 April, 1943 to 16 May 1944 in Angerburg and as of 16 May 1944 Wehrmachtsbefehlhaber Ostland.

[PzV]

on page 10 it is interesting that she was issued 4 "Ärmelstreifen" (cuff titles).

[PzV]

the "Bekleidungsnachweis" insert gives a good idea of female issue clothing

[PzV]

additional information about her usage (stenotypist)

[PzV]

the last item is her authorization card to be in Libau (and her husband was in Riga which is not far away!).

[PzV]

the reverse of the card

[JUNGCO]

It's often overlooked how much German women contributed to the war effort and the rebuilding after. Too bad the photo is missing but still a nice example.

Jeff, that is correct and this is really the first one I have gotten at a reasonable price.
