Memorial Document, Stalingrad

[Steve Campbell]

I picked this set of Memorial Documents up with some portraits. The seller said it was post war, although I would think it would be dome soon after the war ended. Does not appear to be an official document but something done by the family maybe. The picture of the soldier is attached to the document. Another collector made a comment that this type of document was popular after WW1 but hardly seen in WW2. I paid very little for this and bought it out of curiosity. Can anyone tell me what it says or shed some light on it. Thanks, Steve

Here is the second part of this document.

Pretty interesting indeed. I agree it could have been made as early as 1945.

He was in the NSKK from 1939 on, then did his service in the Wehrmacht; training in Landau, and service within the Heimat in Heidelberg, Stuttgart and Augsburg. Then he was sent to the Eastern Front, where he was MIA on the 20th of December 1942 during the attack on Stalingrad.

1945 i find doubtful but any time from the late 40s onwards at least.

Thanks for the information. Like I said it was always represented to be post war, but with a document like this it's still related to the war and has a connection. Did not cost me much of anything either.
