Hi Guys. Today I am happy to share here one of my favourite Soldbuch. Once more (like Grouping Major H.K. last week), this Soldbuch was not purchased on any Website, but was a Present from the Veteran itself in 1997. I had intense Discussions with this great, unpretentious, lovely 83 Years old men. He had a fantastic memory and I was almost living the situation where he was involved... He served and led 11./Inf.Rgt.501 (290.I.D.). On Aug.13th 1942, with his company reduced to 35 Men, he successfully counter-attacks in the Vicinity of Now-Derewjna, thus avoiding a difficult Situation for his Regiment. 5 Days laters, after violent arillery fire, his position his taken by Russian aussault unit. With 24 Men, F.S. re-take the lost position, fighting in close-combat. 84 russians are killed, 9 are taken prisoners.
Thinking that the little booklet therafter was worn in this Tunic at that time means a lot for me, and I thank, for all crazy Documents Collectors opf this Site !! A WILL ADD MORE PICS A A FEW MINUTES...</P>
