VOLKSTURM MERKBLATT & TRAINING PLAN

[W Petz]

I have dug out of my paper collection some interesting items that I found while working at Grafenwoehr training area from 1999 to 2001.

I have a set of 8 Merkblatt manuals covering a variety of subjects. These were published under the Der Reichsfuehrer SS Deutscher Volkssturn-Stabsfuehrer, Volkssturm Reichlehrgang in Grafenwoehr! along with them is a training plan for the Volkssturm Battaillon "Freihung" which was located at Tr.-Ub.-Platz Grafenwoehr. This grouping also included a MerkBlatt D 560/2 for the Panzerfaust and a Deutscher Volkssturm armband.

here are the Merkblatt manuals

Hi Bill. Thanks for sharing these. They make interesting reading, especially the Panzerfaust document and the Merkblätter.

Best regards/ Daniel

Daniel,

Thanks for your kind comments. You rarely see manuals/documents on Volkssturm. I keep these because I worked at Grafenwoehr training area and lived in Grafenwoehr and they came from that area. Bill
