One more for the increasing collection of Flak Soldbuchs in my home.
Here we have the Soldbuch from Ludwig Baumrock, born in Lockenhaus on February 12th, 1.914.
He was inducted in the LW On October 13th, 1.939 and signed to 1./Fl.Ausb.Rgt 12. and, after passing through several training and reserve units, ended in the 1./leichte Flak Abteilung 77, his sole combat unit alongside the rest of the war.
His service suffered just a couple of interruptions:
