Sturmgeschutz Abt. 243 group

[PzV]

I was able to pick this up yesterday. Unfortunately only the GAB "25" was in the group but the family is still looking. The Wehrpass from his brother who was KIA in 1943 was also there with all decorations and documents.

Jason,

thanks, I hope that more is found on this man and still have to read through his Feldpost (Karl-Heinz is checking into him also). The group from the brother was more extensive yet but Infanterie Geschutz.

Jim,
Another outstanding group. Are you going to show the brothers also? I wish I would have been able to get the relatives to find more stuff when I was in Germany!

Very Very nice grouping! Love the 25 GAB too! Awesome score, congrats. I was just reading somewhere recently about StuG-Abt 243 in Kharkov. They were one of the Abt's with the most StuG's available in the battle.
