Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Interesting little book to Oberfeldwebel Ernst Stanitz.
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 After a brief spell with I.R.33, he goes on a course to become an MP
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 And then appears to have spent the whole of the rest of the war in the same unit, Feldgendarmerie Trupp a (mot) 183, the Military Police unit of 83 Infanterie Division.
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Earns the East Front Medal and KVK2 in 1942
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Quite extensive front line service.
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Up to June 44 with Heeresgruppe Nord. No entries after that but he did survice the war and the small group of which this is part inclluded his postwar driving licence.
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 From August to October 1943 he attends a dog handlers course with the Hundestaffel.
Gordon Williamson Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 For me just as interesting, if not more so, than the Dog handler entry is the entry for the KVK1. Photographic evidence of MPs with more than the KVK2 and/or EK2 are very rare indeed.
Paul R Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Another really cool book, Gordon. Can you please post a closeup of the photo? I have not seen too many enlisted folks with a KVK1. He must have done something REALLY big to earn that one.

Hi Paul, The photo is from the time the Wehrpass was set up, prior to military service and shows him in RAD uniform, not Army uniform.
Paul R Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I was thinking that it looked like a RAD uniform! :cheers:
hucks216 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 A very nice WP with some not often seen entries. It is one of those WP's that gets more & more interesting with each & every viewing.
