few more
Documents give to me from uncle who worked for the german government. He saw hundreds if not thousands of these working with records over his years, imagine how many he could have gotten.
The red armband was sent to my dad by his uncle in WW2 with a typed message on the back, the gold mothers cross maybe was my Oma's (came from my uncle) but she didn;t have enough kids for the gold but the silver she did. The other stuff I have just collected.

Nice Soldbuch.
His training unit, Gren Ers Btl 260 was indeed based in Prague.
After his basic training in Prague, he followed a NCO candidate course in a NCO school in Freiberg and became a Gefreiter RUB (RUB = Reserve Unteroffizier Bewerber - candidate reserve sergeant).
In November '44 he joins his combat outfit 13/GR331 (a MG company), in December he turns in his rifle for a pistol and a MG cleaning kit so we can presume that he was a MG gunner.
GR331 was part of the 167 Volksgrenadier Division, they saw action in Slovakia, in Januari '45 he spend time in hospital to recover from frostbite in Pilsen (Czechoslovakia).
After he recovered his unit was on the westernfront part of the 7 Army in the Eifel where they were destroyed in March '45.
I presume that he was taken POW in the Eifel region.
Cheers,
Peter
