Please your opinions about this soldbuch.
He started off as a Gefreiter and ended uo as a Oberleutnant.
Recieved EKII u. I., Verw. Schwarz u. Silber, and a ISA.
Recieved a MP40 (2 times) and a Pistole M27 7,65mm.
Many lazerett entries, also his driverslicense is present with a feldpost card.

Hi Nick,

Nice catch !

Your man went up through the ranks during his service time.

As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with that Soldbuch, just a good "Frontschwein" booklet.

Went on 25.1.1944 into hospital, from hospital to hospital, only to leave it at the end of the war.

Here some information for the unit you can't read :
Taken form Lexikon der Wehrmacht:

<BIG><BIG>Aufklärungs-Abteilung 263</BIG></BIG>
Aufgestellt am 26. August 1939 mit zwei Radfahr-Schwadronen. Am 6. April 1942 wurde die Abteilung auf eine Radfahr-Aufklärungs-Schwadron reduziert und der Panzerjäger- und Aufklärungs-Abteilung 263 eingegliedert.
Neu aufgestellt am 1. April 1943 mit vier Schwadronen aus der Panzerjäger- und Aufklärungs-Abteilung 263 und dem aufgelösten Grenadier-Regiment 483. Am 26. Juli 1943 in
Divisions-Füsilier-Bataillon (A.A.) 263 umbenannt.

In your Soldbuch :

Divisions-Füsilier-Bataillon (Aufklärungs Abteilung) 263. 2. Schwadron.
