Soldbuch PzRgt7 / PzAbt Norwegen

[Simon O.]

Hi Archi

Pz.Abt.Norwegen stayed where it was until the end. Here's a map showing it's unit's locations from sept.44 and an OOB for march 45.

The kompanie chef signatures from 1945 are that of Hptm. Erwin Loetz.

I want to add that he was born (and lived with his parents) in Biedenkopf, Host-Wessel-Str. 5.

His occupation was "Verwaltungslehrling" - administrative trainee and that of his father was post

office manager.

Hello Eduard !

I think he was from the start of the russian campaign in Pz.Rgt 7, part of 10. Pz.Div. :

So he fought at Minsk, Smolensk, Wjasma, Moscow in 1941 and near Juchnow in 1942.
(If you Klick on the blue links titled: Lagekarte, you perhaps find even more details.)

Best regards
