Dear Gerdan,

Thank you very much and I really appreciate your input. Now, it makes sense that he was attached to a Pionier Bataillon due to its profession as a master carpenter.

As it can be seen in the wound page, due to the intestinal problems (gastritis), he was hospitalized in the Reserve Lazarett of Lebach (next to Schmelz) for 2 months.

If someone has some information of the Pionier Bataillon 229, or any other Soldbuch/Wehrpass of this unit, do not hesitate to post it or send me a PM.

Best regards and thank you very much for your opinions.

Dear Panzer Elite,

Yes, I have seen twice the 1944 film. It is a nice one. Now, I will have to rewatch it to find the scene of the medic reloading the bullets ()

Thank you very much for your opinion about the Soldbuch. I am glad that you like it. In my opinion is a really nice one as he managed to obtain the EK I as a Sani, but also because he fought in the battles of Smolensk, Moscow, ... As well as in the defensive battles of Rzhev and Vitebsk.

Best regards,
