    1. Here is one of the most interesting Narvik groups I have owned. Should really be in the Documents section but I'll post them here as this thread is dedicated to Narvik.

      Gebührnisbuch / Soldbuch to Hans Ellerbrock, the L.I. on the "Jan Wellem", an interesting boat which was once the mothership to the German whaling fleet but was taken over by the Kriegsmarine as a support ship and used during the invasion of Norway.

    2. And tucked into the back cover, some details of earlier service on the Eastern Front prior to the issue of this Soldbuch.

      Records at Deutsche Dienststelle show him as with the Army (Inf Regt 400 ) in 1939, then a mysterious gap until May to November 1942 when he is with the Artillery Regiment of Wiking, then another gap until March 1944 when he is with the Feldgendarmerie.

      He was killed in action sometime between 20 - 22 April 1945 at Neu Petershain. At that time Frundsberg had broken out of the Spremberg Pocket and was trying to push through to the Elbe River.
