After some requests, here is the Führer-Begleit-Brigade/Division Soldbuch i was talking about.
Apart from the unit and its Ardennes connection its not a very special Soldbuch (no combat awards).
But i like it nonetheless!
As you can see Alois Mayer started out with the LW.
To be honest i havn´t really looked into his early LW carreer.
From 1942 till 1944 he was in LW Bau and Pionier units.
In late 1944 he got transferred to II./Artillerie-Lehr-Regiment (mot) 5.
That unit was incorperated into the Führer-Begleit-Brigade according to a "Tagesbefehl":
This explanes why you can see a 1944 stammrolle number on page 17.
So he was in the Brigade on time for the Ardennes offensive.
As he came from the LW and didn´t had an official GD training and therefore hadn´t received a GD cufftitle
(as was normal after GD training), he was awared the cufftitle on the 4th of march 1945.

Laut einem Tagesbefehl vom Dezember 1944 wurde die II./Artillerie-Rgt. 5 (mot.), die II. Panzer-Abteilung "Grossdeutschland"
und die Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 20? (unleserlich, vermutlich 200) der Brigade Remer zugeführt.
Es heißt dort u.a. wörtlich: "Sie gehören vom heutigen Tage an organisch zur Brigade."
