That is certainly a Soldbuch that fits the term 'salty'!

Interesting that he felt the need to remove the photo in his Soldbuch but has left it in the Wehrpass.

Lovely looking 'been there' Soldbuch and a nice East German citation.

EK II, IAB & NKS all in the space of 6 months shows just how tough the fighting must of been in that area.

Nice set. At least you can track where he fought with the comprehensive Nahkampf list. I wonder if the NKS citation is signed by Heinz Groth (DKiG) who is listed as Rgt-Führer at that time. He is an unconfirmed winner of the RK with the Ordensträger listing the award as 09-05-1945. As stated on AHF..  

'proposal arrived at HPA on 13.04.1945 ; lacking the comments of OB HGr Süd and the note of handling by Major Domaschk ; HPA proposal Nr. 5088 prepared (21.04.1945), no further handling to recognize ; accepted by OdR in accordance with so-called “Dönitz-Erlass”'

I can't say I have seen a photo of someone in the Wasserzoll before. Nice clear image. What colour would the waffenfarbe be on his cap?
