        Thank you for the replies. If anyone else owns a KIA Soldbuch/Wehrpass from operation Veritable or Grenade, you may post it here. I could not find another one so far, but I'm sure there are more. It is quite unfortunate that the February/March 1945 offensives near the Rhine are often forgotten, except of course for Operation Varsity and Remagen bridge.

        If anyone wants to know more about these battles: there is an old, extensive documentary in German (without subtitles) called Krieg am Niederrhein:

          Someone was kind enough to take some photographs of his grave in Mönchengladbach. So I wanted to share them here.

            Another nicely researched and presented grouping. Very interesting!

            Thanks,

              I was rereading Kurt Vonnegut's slaughterhouse five and in there somewhere is the phrase children's crusade. At my age of 54 this man reminds me of that. Very good research, thank you for the effort.
