Soldbuch – Luftwaffe NCO – JG Mölders  Portrait & Capture Papers – Worked for US Army!  Surname – Köhler  An interesting Grouping to a Luftwaffe NCO, comes with his capture/discharge Papers, a great portrait of him and a letter stating he worked well for the US Army heavy equipment Section.  He received a Führer Present – 10.1943.  He seen extensive service in the Luftwaffe – Likely as a Mechanic.  He even served a short time in JG Mölders, before being thrown into combat with  Grenadier E. U . A Batl 116 – in the late states of 1944, likely due to the fact the LW played less a role in Combat on the frontline and the need for soldiers was more than ever.  He was issued with equipment and a new uniform – Now he was in the Wehrmacht!  He Had his own Pistol a model – Dreyse.  Mobilised under – Codename ‘’Leuthen’’ they marched to the enemy (US Forces) on March 1945.  See: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/InfErsBat/InfErsBat116-R.htm http://taskforcebaum.de/germany/dleuthen.html His unit was attached to Grendier – Ersatz Regiment 519, and his unit was placed in Ostheim just north of Hanau in Germany. (He would later surrender to US Forces and work for them as a Engineer). Its interesting to note that he was a member of a Wehrmacht Unit that stood in front of General Patton on his reckless Mission to free soldiers from Hammelburg, one of the last greatest blunders of US Forces and was a complete failure – Task Force Baum was destroyed near Hammelburg and they were in turn interned. One of the Last small Victories of the Germans in the closing states of WW2! It would take two weeks to read the Camp at Hammelburg and thus its liberation. The US Army lost many tanks and men, and all off the 300 Soldiers sent on that mission fell into enemy hands or was killed in Action from second class german soldiers and Volkssturm Units.  See: http://www.taskforcebaum.de A nice interesting grouping to an interesting NCO. 

Wehrpass – Org TODT! NCO and Building Inspector! WW1 and WW2!  Interesting Wehrpass to Fritz Jaeger. He served in WW1 and won two medals, he was injured in WW1 – shot in the upper arm.   He was from Schmaalkalden in Germany. He is a trained Building Master. attended a Technical school.  He was a member of the SA and won the SA Sports badge. He has the drivers licence class 1  and 2.  During his service he was trained on the G98, K98, and Luger Pistol P08. He was extensively trained Flug Meldungen – Flight messages.  In 1937 He was found fit for service in the Armed Forces.  He was trained on Radio equipment during WW1 and went straight into service as a a Funker in the Luftwaffe.  He would serve in the battle against France in 1940, and in Elsaß, and would assist the Luftwaffe in the fight against England. He would later take part in the ‘’ruckzug’ retreat from Fance and Belgium in 1944.  He rose the ranks very fast, likely due to his extensive experience, from Soldier to Feldwebel in a few years, then to his next position with Organisation Todt!  See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_Todt     His Unit – Organisation Todt Front Reg 50  OT was responsible in France for many things, inclusion the building of the Atlantic Wall or West Wall, also building the instalments for the V1 and V2 Rockets. His Rank was quite high in the OT – and in 1944 he reached – Bau-inspector – Building Inspector.  OT used forced labour – up to 1.4 Million people served as the backbone for this unit that would build Hitlers Fortresses all around Europe under the command of Albert Speer.  He was released from Service in 16.4.1945 just before the Allies got a chance to reach hometown area.  A very interesting role he played in various OT Units, a surely not normal Wehrpass. Further research could be done as to what his roles were and when with the OT. ———————————————— OT Todt Footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdWaGCKdynI
