Heer Grossdeutschland

[9th Black Watch]

Gentlemen,

I would welcome comments on the attached items.

The Wehrmacht Fuhrerschein is rather worn but belonged to Rudolph Kraatz (born Koln)., s.Kp.II./J.R.G.D. Grossdeutschland - dated December 1940.

Is this a fairly common document.

This was accompanied by a number of photograhs (c.60-70) a number of which are captioned on the reverse.

I thought these maybe of interest.

Apologies for the quality of the scans but I had to resize them.

In several images the soldiers are wearing what I assume are GD cuff-titles. Photographs date from 1940-c.1944.
