2 documents

[dutchcollector]

hi guys,
i got these 2 in recently, docs for the wound badge in black and for the ostmedal, both to the same person.

the doc for the ostmedal is signed by oberst Clemens Betzel (RK 05 september 1944, EL 11 march 1945)

opinions are welcome.

regards rik

Both docs look good and there is a ton of info available on the lexicon about this regiment.

could anyone tell me what kind of gear this unti was using?

[Simon O.]

lot of info on the regiment and it's equipment on the regiments page on the lexikon but basically the 8th battery was equipped with the 15cm s.F.H.18

if it converted to the Hummel later on in the war i dont know, at least one of the 15cm batteries was but i dont know if it was the 8th.
