Does his record show any other assignments within the division, such as Stab/Pz.Artillerie.Rgt, Pz.Jäger or Pz.Pioniere as he may well of got the Assault Badge if serving within those sub-units? If it was an Infantry Assault Badge than I would expect the entry to be more specific and actually mention the 'Infanterie' part, as can be seen here with the award of the IAB and PAB to a member of SS-Pz.Rgt 3 (he won the IAB during earlier SS service prior to transferring to the Panzer Regiment.)

Heer Pz Abt 501 rescue lot
hucks216 replied to Jock Auld's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
I can see why you are gutted about the Soldbuch as judging by the awards page it would of been a great - and rare - example. But still a nice find and with the signature of Major Hans-Georg Lueder (the first commander of s.Pz.Abt 501) in the driving instructors license. Looks like he may well of been captured in Africa in May 1943, in which case he may well of torn out a lot of the SB pages anyway.. -
German State Service Pass RfG
hucks216 replied to Jock Auld's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
I can't say that I have seen one of those before either. I have had a flick through the Young & Meinz books on German documents and didn't see it in there although considering the sheer amount of different ID passes in the books I could of missed it. -
I would agree with Mervyn in that this should come under the Red Cross sphere for awarding if it goes ahead but with a new medal what does and what doesn't constitute Humanitarian Aid? Would there be a dividing line between such actions as going to an Ebola stricken area and deploying to the West Indies for 6 months every year (as RN warships do) to help rebuild local communities that are devastated by Hurricanes? And if so why? Would there be retrospective awards for the Boxing Day Tsunami or the rescue crews who went to New Zealand and Japan after the earthquakes there? I just can't help thinking Cameron has come up with this to try and have his name/tenure as PM associated with a new medal.

Heer One Family 4 KIA
hucks216 replied to Jock Auld's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
I like the early KIA Wehrpass, just 15 days into the 1940 Western Campaign. It also has the signature of future DKiG winner Walter Hackbarth at he bottom of Page 32. Good to see that the items have managed to stay together.
