Sonderurlaub

[dennisb]

I know there are lots of different reasons for a soldier going on leave.
Einsatzurlaub, Genesungsurlaub etc. etc..
Now I have seen an entry for:

Sonderurlaub gem. Ziff.1,f dar Ausnahmebestimmung O.K.W.

I know it is a special leave, but could someone help me with the reasons for such a special leave?
Is 'gem. Ziff.1,f' probably a code giving the reason or how do I need to interpret this?

Interesting to see is that this man on the day he came back from this leave received the K.V.K. I. klasse.


I hope someone can clear this up!
Thanks in advance!

Is there no one who has more information related to the codes used for Sonderurlaub?

I have a copy of the 1943 leave regulations for the Army but it does not mention the OKW. Your reference must be from the original OKW orders, of which, I do not have a copy.

Gerdan,
I totally missed the "f." Ziffer 1 under Sonderurlauben in the OKH regulations, is also a list of the types, with f being for bomb damage but the list under "Sonderurlauben" is ziffer "66" in the regulations. I hope that makes sense.
