Hi hope the forum finds this of interest a grouping of FJ soldbuch NSFK and HJ items and documents issued to a Hans Gohler corporal. Purchased from his neighbour in Chippenham Wiltshire after his death about 14 years ago as he was himself off on para training.
Grouping consists of
Soldbuch 1/1/44
Dog tag 10 fl rgt 53
NSFK exercise book
NSFK postcard with call up dates
HJ shooting book (badge awarded)
HJ prof. badge in bronze book and cloth award
HJ flying branch conformation
as far as I can tell he did basic training Nov 43 to May 44 with Fl Regt 53 then pilot training till Oct 44 before completion was trans to FJ Regt 5 of FJ Div 3. participated in Ardennes Offensive. Then transfered to FJ regt 22 of 8 FJ Div. Feb 45. Wounded towards end of war by schrapnel in his right lung was captured and sent to Plympton Devon as a pow where he acted as a translator. After war became a vetenarian then as I understand it resettled to Wiltshire UK.
Would appreciate an idea of its value .
