Gents,

Erwin joint early the HJ (sep. docs i have) and got as HJ-member at 7.8.1943 the KVK (Kriegsverdienstkreuz) 2nd class with swords and this decoration would also wrote down in his later Soldbuch (s. pic) and the award (feldspange KVK) is also to see on his chest at the personal picture in the Soldbuch

It's sad to see that he was barely 18 when he died.
Regarding the paybook itself, I think that the KVK II entry is very interesting

Interesting pay book. Tragic, a very short "career" and cut down so close to the end of hostilities. Thanks for showing it.

agree & thanks for your comments, gents! if anybody want to see some HJ-pics or documents from e.v.m. i will scan some...but maybe not so important in that forum part ;-) regards, andy

Yes, especially since he was 16 year old when he was awarded the KVKII.

Ok, here the documents:
- 1 dienstkarte HJ (membershipcard HJ) - without picture of e.v.m. - with the mark of the awarding KVK II (see my yellow marks)
- this dienstkarte was made at 17.7.1944, i think it is the 2nd issue of this card, maybe the first went lost.
- 2nd document is the "führerausweis HJ" (leadershipcard HJ) shows his way with the first rank on 20.4.1942 as "rottenführer", last rank was on 24.6.1943 as "hauptscharführer"
- 2 pictures: 1 e.v.m. with full HJ-uniform, 1 little picture of e.v.m. as very young boy...an earlier picture from a card (remains of stamp)...but does not fit to the both documents i have (stamps remains dont match..)
thats all i have ;-)
Regards, Andy

..sorry..last rank was on 9.11.1943 as "Ober-Kameradschaftsführer" ;-)
