I want to show here my newest arrivel. Wehrpass and Soldbuch Luftwaffe with his Bundeswehr Wehrpass and his Flying ID and his Radio Operator License.

This Guy was a Radio Operator (Bordfunker) in KG 53 and 55 - End of 1944 he served to Transportgruppe Finnland and survived the War.

Very nice, I've only come across a couple of groups related to TG 20 before. You might think he would have received the Lapplandschild as well but the rules stated that LW personnel had to complete at least 30 days of 'feindflüge' or 6 months in theatre. As he was in a transport unit he can't have accumulated enough feindflüge days and he wasn't within the qualifying area for 6 months or more

Many Thanks for the comments. This guy have a lot of Missions - i think his service at the end of war at the TG 20 help him to survive the war !

Yes the group is not complete...no Docs or others...but iam verry happy with it. A nice Couple of Soldbuch and Wehrpass with Photos of him ! I think for a "Bordfunker" highly Decoraded !

[Simon O.]

I agree, one of the few lucky enough to survive it all, I wonder why he was transferred from bombers to transports?

[Schuasta]

Yes i was woundering tooo - first unit he was a verry long time - and have a lot of missions ....and then he transfered to a total other unit...
