GreyC Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hi, interesting. For Heeres-Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 600: https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/Sturmgeschutzeinheiten/Sturmgeschutzabteilung600.htm GreyC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Hello! Indeed, very interesting! Note the 2nd unit, s.Art.Abt.616. That unit was formed August 26, 1939, just one week before the war broke out. The number of units he served with is interesting too!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Nice example. The birthday card/notice artwork is a nice addition to the set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Thanks guys, there are a few more bits with it, I think the list is long as he was an authorised 'war dodger' according to another bit of paper, in that as his father died in WW1 he has chosen to exercise his right as an only child to be posted to low risk jobs? I will scan it in tomorrow, but I believe that is the general gist of the paperwork. I am guessing he survived the war as I have his pass..... Hucks, yes the art work stuff tickled me too, surprised they had time to be still doing things like that so late in the war... I will scan the rest in when I get time. I am busy chopping wood for winter as the gas prices are through the roof over here in Germany. Best Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Better late than never! Shame about the missing awards, he looks a bit used by the time of his picture with the Kurland cuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
