Hi All,
Here's a soldbuch that belongs to Kurt Ziesenheim which came with a folded printed letter about the death of his brother Karl (?). There's no picture on the inside front cover, never had one stapled to it. He belong to the 2/Jnf. Ers. Batl. 163. On page 5, there is only his father's name, no mothers, is that common? On page 7 an extra fold out paper was glued on, also after page 8 a folded paper inserted (glued) to make pages 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d. I Googled Kurt's name an came up with his family tree, Karl was his younger brother.
Does anyone have information on the 2/Jnf. Ers. Batl. 163? Can you tell his rank?
Thank you,
Rodney

, but instead we get rain and mud..
!! I’ve never seen these come up for sale at our local militaria shows or antique shows so it the first time I ever had one in hand, you can almost feel the soldier that owned it. I’m really gratefully for the translation of pages 7, 8 and 8a-d. Sorry for the bad pictures, if you need better pictures, let me know what pages you'll need.
Hawaii!!
!) in the mainland. As for Japanese stuff, there’s not a whole bunch either but still can be found if you look hard enough. I've collected Japanese stuff but I still fall back on TR's...... it's what got me started in the first place, oh yeah!, and watching the TV series (reruns) of "Combat", "Rat Patrol" and "Hogan's Heroes"!! 
!! Wow!
