Jan Arne S Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Hi Guys ! Found this book for some days ago . Some kind of Flak Abzeichen book . Does any know what this book was justed for ? size is a little bit bigger than a Soldbuch . Jan Arne
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 very interesting. Looks to be the method to record the points and actions to apply for the badge. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the rarest... I would say this is waaaaaay up there. I dont collect WW2 anymore, but this is a fantastic piece.
Gordon Williamson Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I'd agree, it seems to be a book for recording points leading to the award of the badge. Interesting that the front cover shows the book is specific to this Regiment. In other words the name of the unit is not just stamped onto a "generic" book which could be used by any unit. So, it is possible that this unit decided to have such books printed and issued to individual soldiers and other units just kept central records for eveytone. This would explain why it could be so rare and no one has seen one before. You would expect similar books for Heer and Kriegsmarine Flak units and they would be more common. Very rare piece. Congratulations Jan Arne !
spanferkel Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 As Paul noted it would be nice,if possible, to see the other pages in the book. Personally I never seen one of these to any Flak units and would be curios if others have seen examples of these or have any in there collections. Regards Jeremy

Flak88 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I have the EXACT one to the same unit but it is blank. No clue if it is good.
Jan Arne S Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Scan inside book . Only the first pages are filled out . Jan Arne
spanferkel Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Jan Thanks for additional scans. Certainly an interesting book and hopefully someone else will be able to show additional items which are filled in/complete. Appears as though these were perhaps unoffically instituted by specific units. Regards jeremy
