This is the one Lee.
He was born 29.3.1928 in Breslau. So at the time this Soldbuch was issued it was 3 days before his 17th birthday. However for some reason someone has changed the date from 26.3.1945 to 26.10.1944. The unit issuing the Soldbuch is Fallsch.Jg. Ausb.u.Ers.Div. which corresponds with his unit on page 3 and his dog tag.
His dog tag no. belonged to: 8 Kp./Fallsch.-Jäger-Ers.u.Ausb.Rgt. 3.
Although the photo is not overstamped it is signed by him and clearly taken from another document as it has been stamped by a Breslau authority.Last edited by Ian Jewison; 12-31-2013, 07:18 AM.Photos/images copyright © Ian Jewison collection

Fallsch.-Jäger-Ers.u.Ausb.Rgt. 3 was actually used to create Fallsch.Jg.Rgt. 59 of 20 Fallsch.Jg.Div. but for some reason he went to Fallsch.Jg.Rgt. 58 of the same Division.
However, he served for a short time with 8 Kp./II Btl./Fallsch.Jg.Rgt.163, a short lived unit which not much info can be found on....looks like it could have been an intermediary designation as prior to this he was also with 8 Kp./II Btl. of his previous unit.
And of course the entry of swearing allegiance to Großadmiral Dönitz.
I have another one to Fallsch.Jg.Rgt.161 who swore allegiance to Großadmiral Dönitz also.

How about an OT Dienstbuch to a then 16 year old girl sent to North Norway in July '44 with the construction firm Hochtief which still exists today. She was sent to the area of Fuask in Nordland county where the Germans were extending the railway Northwards at the cost of many Russian and Yugoslav POW lives and if it wasn't for this construction project Norway today wouldn't have a railway that far North.Collecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.Comment
