Hello, I love researching wehrpass and soldbuch, and this ones interesting- has a death card of a buddy and a postcard, loads of entries. Really having trouble reading the handwriting though.. any help in an English translation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It didn’t load my last pics, sorry! It was found with an early 3pc stitched armband and M1/77 enamel party pin!

Appears to have served in Norway... can’t read the 1945 entries, rank at end of war?

[JUNGCO]

Final rank = San. Stabsgefreiter.

[Byzanti]

Thank you for the reply. I saw that he was in a fallschirmjager unit from 44 on, it was an interesting find, together with the pin and he armband- although there’s no way to put those necessarily together with the book, I’ll probably sell it as a mixed set as found on the estand. I like it all, but you can’t collect everything (unfortunately) as they say..., thank you again.

Were there any award entries?

As you can see he spent most of his war comfortably out of the way in Norway. His world clearly turned upside down in Oct.44, likely due to being caught up in one of the 'comb outs' of personnel to rebuild shattered units. In this case fallschirm granatwerfer Btl. 3 of the 3 FJ Div. but he might also have volunteered for frontline service, but given the timing, i would go for being transferred.

I will double check- but I tried to photograph most of the pages with entries. I was unaware that there was very much known about that FJ battalion.

Büttner was promoted to Sanitäts-Stabsgefreiter on 1 February 1945, so he was most likely in combat from October 1944 until at least February 1945, and probably until the end of the war...he was most likely involved in the fighting at Arnheim, The Battle of the Bulge, Remagen and the Ruhr Pocket. Here is some more about the division: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...nen/3FJD-R.htm
