Hi everyone, I’ve just received some family records from the German archives and I'm wondering if someone can give me an idea what unit's he served in and any awards. I've scanned the pages that I think are relevant. I appreciate any help.

I just want to add some information:

The s. Art. Ers. Abt. (mot) 70 was also placed from 1.9.42 - 8.9.1943 in St. Avold /Westmark

10.9.43 - 15.9.43 he was with a unit in Darmstadt: 2. (?) Komp. ..?.. -Btl.

16.9.43 - 22.11.43: Heeresentlassungstelle 1/XIII Regensburg

From 10.9.43 - 15.9.43 he could have served with the 2.(??) Komp. Standort-Btl. Darmstadt

Also awarded EK II and SWB

Interesting to note that part of AR 115 was sunk enroute to Africa. The Lexikon has some info about the unit, such as they were euipped with italian howitzers.
