My recently new Soldbuch which came a lot of other documentation for this man.
He originally was in the Regia Aeronautica and enlisted in the Luftwaffe in Austria.
It was found recently in Italy by my friend who keeps an eye out for me for such items. You can say my agent in Italy.
As you know many Italians enlisted in the Wehrmacht , SS and of course the Armed Forces and Security units of the RSI or Italian Social Republic after the armistice of Sept 8,1943 . Many who enlisted felt that the King and Badaglio government stabbed Germany in the back and brought dishonor for Italy . Of course others felt different.
I already had in my collection a dog tag to the same unit. There was some dispute on the (Ital.) designation on the dog tag not making any sense. It all make sense to me now as the you can see in the "Italiener" Soldbuch. I was thrilled to get this Soldbuch as the coincidence of me having the tag already was unbelievable.
There are other entries in the soldbuch , but I just scanned the first four pages so far.
I hope you like it
