What you have here is not a Sturmgeschütz soldbuch but something much better and far less common.

At the time the photo was taken he belonged to the 13 Panzerjäger-flak kompanie of Ski Jäger Regiment 2 of the 1 Skijäger division.

the kompanie was equipped with towed 7.5cm pak40 and self-propelled 20mm flak guns.

This brigade and subsequently division was highly unusual in it's uniform style. Not only did they wear the sturmartillerie uniform (with GJ\jäger green waffenfarbe) but parts of the unit were also issued with the FJ helmet, the idea being it was more suitable for skiing.

I already explained that

the kompanie was equipped with towed 7.5cm pak40 and self-propelled 20mm flak guns.

the flak guns in the gliederung show up as being on tracked vehicles so i think either single barrel flak38s on pz.I chassis or more likely mounted on sdkfz.10 halft-tracks. The PAKs were towed, either by wheeled vehicles, half-tracks or perhaps even RSOs. Of course this guy could just as easily driven an opel or kubelwagen

I'll definitely agree with "Far less common," but as for "much better" well..... That statement is open for debate

And yes, the self propelled Flak vehicles were probably SdKfz.10/4s or 10/5s.

Nice Soldbuch - Thanks for sharing it with us.

Yes, a uncommon soldbuch indeed. Finding a soldbuch to the ski jager division with their unique uniform choice in wear for the photo is a great catch.

Sorry Rob but I would like this one over a stug abt. !
