Soldbuch TDB Entry + see Göbbels...

[Lionel H.]

Hi Guys. I have just got some interesting docs.... and hope to get some more....
Soldbuch pages from an old Soldier from the 1./Panzer-Jäger-Abt.131 (131.I.D.). He served until the 1940 campaign (was already wounded in Belgium on May.26yh.40), earned E.K.II, E.K.I and a wonderful Entry on Sept.1st 1944 for "Sonderabzeichen" (TDB).... But more interesting, 18 Days later, his General (Friedrich WEBER) signed him a "Sonderausweis" to meet Dr. Goebbels and association from the Hitleryouth relating to a "Stosstrupp" which I mean must be in relation with his TDB.... I would appreciate to have your Opinion about what seems to me to be a rare document
Name of this Feldwebel was GERHARD RUST.
1) Does anybody more about him ??
2) Do you mean there is a Link between TDB / Stosstrupp and convocation to Goebbels ??
3) Anybody has more information about this Stosstrupp (Div. was at this time involve by heavy Fights in Latvia...
Feel free Guys to give me your opinion about that !!<p><img src="http://cdn01.trixum.de/upload2/O/Y/OYmVt1blhZxf134221424561P1683.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://cdn03.trixum.de/upload2/L/s/Lskpr9bKIcfG134221426328P1683.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://cdn03.trixum.de/upload2/M/y/Myz6laUhX2Nt134221428154P1683.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://cdn01.trixum.de/upload2/S/L/SLk4hHnazVqc134221430134P1683.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://cdn01.trixum.de/upload2/W/H/WHGapdrR7TA3134221431952P1683.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://cdn01.trixum.de/upload2/E/m/EmPsNU5MxkQ6134221433698P1683.jpg"></p>

Would like to hear the Specialists !! or just those who have any Opinion ! Thanks !

A very nice piece, I have no clue if the award of the TDB was the fact that Göbbels invited him, but surely it was a major factor in the travel to visit the HJ, you know it was common to organize visits from well decorated soldiers to towns and HJ camps to raise the moral for the civilians and to boost the recruitment of the new generation.

As always a wonderful group.

Thanks Angel. If anybody own the Book "IM ZEICHEN DES SCHWERTES, ERINNERUNGEN AN DEN WEG DER 131.I.D." from Giebel § Oehlschläger, it would be kind to have a Look in it... I do not own this one...
