EOD - bombs and bullets
OK, I posted this a while back at GB, but the pics were lost, so I will re-post them here.
As Peter U is the Mod here, I figure he might be able to figure some of this out, as I know he is an expert at deciphering Soldbuch's....
Anyway the story behind the Soldbuch as related to me...(and in the original thread)
"Here is another OT item, but one I think is pretty cool....a Luft Soldbuch, with some SS connections....
The story behind this (take from it what you will)....they were in a static position, in a town somewhere....they would get hit by arty almost every day, pretty accurate arty. They noticed everyday about 20 minutes or so before they got hit, this guy in civilian clothes rode through town on a bike...the told the company commander about it, he told them they can't shoot a civilian....a few more days of getting hit, they got sick of it, and popped this guy as he rode through. The next day they searched him, and found this soldbuch on him (along with a pistol)....He apparently was involved in signals, so possibly he (if the story is true) was a signlas/intel guy, rode through to determine positions, then radioed them back....
True? Who knows....but the Soldbuch is interesting, the guy was in some interesting units...I was never good at reading the Sutterlin script, but I can make out some of the units,
3. Kp./Lg. Nachr. Regt. Kiew....3rd company, Lehrgeschwader (? is this right?) Nachrichten Regiment Kiev (Assuming he was in Russia?)
Also can make out Jagerregiment 31, and looks like 9th Komp, LW Jager Regt 38....
Can anyone else make out any others?
Notice on Page 1 his initial rank entry is as a funker (radioman) SS Sturmann....
Maybe he was Waffen SS and transferred or was assigned to the Luft?
On Page 3 you can see an entry on 5 April 1943 for the Ersatz Komp, LSSAH, which was the replacement company of the 1st SS Panzer Div.... "
