I´m trying to find out what kind of shoulderboards this guy has on his Soldbuch photo.
I´ve tried in the Uniform section, but no one gave a reaction.
So lets try here!
As extra information, he started his training (in 1943) in: Grenadier-Ersatz-Bataillon 23.
And after that he was at least in the following units:
Reserve-Grenadier-Regiment 61
Reserve-Grenadier-Bataillon 23
Marsch Bataillon z.b.v. I.R.322
Sturm-Bataillon AOK 18
Pionier-Ersatz-Bataillon 6
Pionier-Bataillon 326
On his unit page in the soldbuch someone wrote, underlined in red, the following: "Nur für Gren. Begl. zug zu verwenden".
Meaning: only to be used in the Grenadier escort platoon.
So he was a Stug/Jagdpanzer escort soldier.
Which makes sense with the Inf.Sturmabzeichen in bronze he earned.
Here the official order:
"Der Generalinspekteur der Panzertruppen: Aufstellung von Grenadier-
Begleitzügen für Sturmgeschütz- und Jagdpanzer-Einheiten: 10.10.1944"
