Hi
My Father was in the Heer from 1941 to 1945. I have his Soldbuch, but I am having trouble reading and understanding several entries.
I can’t post a picture but perhaps I can send a pm or email to anyone who can help.
The main entries I have having difficulty in are:
On the first page the Soldbuch gives his name and ranks as
Kanonier
1st promotion to Gefreiter 1/19/42
2nd promotion to Obegerfreiter 1/11/44
But on page 3 it lists 1st promotion again to Gefreiter, HKP 611, but 2nd promotion I can’t read, something like ‘Graufagrad’ Pz A.R. 119, NOT Obergefreiter. Why is that?
Next problem is on page 7 Issued equipment:
He was issued a Schirmmütze and Waffenrock on 22/10/43 ( unusual for his rank and that late in the war I am told)
But the next item to Waffenrock issued reads like “217” on same date, what is that?
Last problem is page 23 Leave
Under ‘Grund, ( reason for issue of leave) I can’t read the word
Something like ‘ Lofaburiglurlaub‘
Can anyone help with this please.
