Hi to all!
This is the soldbuch of RK winner Major Hans Guhr. The description was made by his son, Michael, so I just add the photos:
If you want to learn more about the life of this brave soldier, go to: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...=609656&page=2

Page 1.
Inside the front cover there was nothing - page was blank -, but in 1944 there was a regulation to have a photo of the holder ( unfortunately withdrawn ), but this is why it is stampeled by the Kriegsakademie where Hans studied at that time and it is signed by Hans.
At the top of page 1 the serial number of this Soldbuch is handwritten, number 23; the next entries gave Hans`ranks and promotion days, where the promotion became effective; followed by the Erkennungsmarke -so called dog tag-
8. (M.G.) 52 -23 ( can not explain why -23 ), next line Blutgruppe- bloodgroup- O, the gasmask size is next 2 ( that means medium ),and the following number is Hans`special number, no one else had to have this number 16/336/10
16 stands for the last two when hans was born, 336 is the police district number where Hans was registered for service and 10 shows the induction sheet, on which Hans was registered.
( This is shown on the document Personal-Nachweis of Hans)
His promotion record, as shown here, states the following:

a. Stab/ Gen.Kdo.XXVII.A.K. 165
b. Kriegsakademie 1491
Page 18 - 22
These pages are full of surprises, they should actually report the pay history...Hans got his war fine soap and his shave soap, he got the pay for fighting in the frontier, he received the Führer gift 12.1.44 in his hometown Dresden, and his Wehrsold in the Heereskurlazarett Semmering.
the coloumn "erhält die Gebührnisse der"showed every pay office how much Hans was authorised to be paid.

Page without number but of great importance:
Auszeichnungen:
This page shows the awards of my father:
Erinnerungsmedaille Einsatz Österreich 13.3.38
Sudeten-Medaille mit Spange ( awarded 134.563 )
E.K.II. Klasse 24.10.1939 ( as a platoon leader, 23rd birthday of my father)
E.K. I. Klasse 26.9.41
Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz 23.5.42
Infanterie-Sturm-Abzeichen 13.6.42
Medaille " Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42" ( Ostmedaille )
Königl.bulg.Tapferkeitsorden IV. Klasse, 2.Stufe
Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes gemäß H Qu OHK PA 1 St.VA Nr 98 23/42 vom 10.9.1942
All decorations awarded are signed (in pencil) by Oberst Theodore Pilling with the stamp of the IR 513. (Oberst Pilling was awarded the DKiG on 20/08/1943)
The most important page of the Soldbuch: the entry of the Ritterkreuz, awarded 10.09.1942, but written here on 19.09.1942.
Again, the signature of Oberst Pillipi can be seen below. The RK was without a doubt one of the most important decorations of the Wehrmacht during WWII. Being decorated was truly a moment of significant importance in the life of the soldier who got it, receiving the respect of his comrades and superiors
In today's German army the term Ritterkreuz-Auftrag ("Knight's Cross Mission") refers to a duty that is extremely aggravating, or a no-win situation.
Justification for the award of the Knight`s Cross:
" During the attack carried out by two battalions of the regiment positioned in the bend of the river Don, Lieutenant Guhr - who had been sent to the front line as a liaison - realized that the enemy was bringing in additional forces to the hill overlooking the terrain. Correctly assessing the situation, he concluded that only an immediate and decisive counter-attack would prevent a later attack on the hill that could cost many casulties. He therefore decided to attack the enemie`s defaece lines immediately without waiting for any support from the artillery and other heavy weapons. Driving ahead in a jeep and firing his machine gun, he and the few infantery men near him attacked the enemy forces and managed to destroy these in spite of being heavily outnumbered. After overcoming the enemy`s resistance, the fortified positions on the hill were taken, over 200 prisoners were captured andall the enemy weaponry was confiscated. However, the enemy also recognized the crucial importance of the hill for further actions and tried for four days to regain their lost positions. They were beaten successfully every time losing many more soldiers as well as military equipment.
Lieutenant Guhr`s bold attack at the top of a few soldiers spared the regiment some heavy fighting"

Periods of authorized leave:
Hans did his duty beginning from the Operation Barbarossa, 22. June 1941 up to his study at the Kriegs-Akademie, September 1944 always in the eastern front line, as a platoon leader of a machine gun platoon, as a companie commander as Rgt.Adj. or O1 of the 294. Infanterie Division.
He is named in the small bucklet "Millerowo" and found the time to visit the Frontbuchhandlung Orscha.
