    Zweitschrift SB: 225 ID early war, 114 Jager Div mid war, Tigers at the end?

    Hey all,
    Famously bored tonight, so I took some pix of one of the few SB's in my possession.

    Wilhelm von der Heyde (or Heide) was involved with the NS/SA movement moderately early, as his receiving the Braunschweig pin attests to.

    He was a policeman, a member of the Feldgendarmerie, and I'm not sure what all else. If his post-war testimonials are to be believed, he was also a tank driver of King Tigers.

    As you scroll through the pix and notice the awards, I'm well aware the last 3 - NKS, EK1, and Tank Destruction Badge - are controversial. I've included an obvious post-war picture he had taken, but that's not to say he didn't enter them himself. Only the TDB is not visible...so we'll never know for sure.

    There's about 30 or so more various docs I haven't included here; all of his wartime award docs are missing, but I have his Polizei 8 year medal, the Olympic Medal, and Sudeten Medal award docs, as well as his promotion docs. I'll try to add those at a later time.

    Also have 2 out of 3 award docs to his brother, who was KIA in Russia.

    Anyhoo, here's the pix.

                  Here's his Wehrdienst/Ehrendienst album. A bit more (but not much) contents than what's pictured.

                  His photo is on the inside frontispiece.

                            I had missed it!

                            The photo with his awards is very interesting! he have the ribbon of the "Kriegsauszeichnung des Unabhängigen Staates Kroatien" (taken almost certainly with the other Croatian medal in Dalmatia with the 114 Jager Div.)....

                            it seems to me that the German soldiers were forbidden to exhibit foreigner decorations, so it should esere a photo out of service. it is possible?

                              A very desirable group of docs!

                              Those darn very late war award entries. The photograph gives them some credibility.

                              Hank is that a Karabiner 43 he received in late April 45?

                              Thanks for showing!
