Kruger Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik, Breslau modern day Wroclaw, Poland. It has been stamped grz 194 – Gebr.

The division was equipped with Czech equipment; in addition to WWXI, the personnel came from WWVI and II as well as the HGr. South. From 1941 the division was equipped with German equipment. The division should be ready for field use by November 1, 1939. The 13th companies of the infantry regiments were heavy mortar companies. After the formation, the division moved to the Upper Rhine in December to secure the German western border. From May 10th the division took part in the western campaign. She crossed the Ardennes and advanced via Sedan to Laon. Here the division turned south and marched via Chemin des Dames, the Marne and Loire to Bourges. Between August 1940 and February 1941 the division was on leave. On April 2, 1941, the 13th companies of the infantry regiments became IG companies, which were taken over by the 246th Infantry Division. After re-enlistment, the division was in France. From July 1941 she took part in the Russian campaign. The division marched via Vilna, Disna and Opochka into the area west of Lake Ilmen. Fighting on the Luga followed in August. In September the division advanced across the Ischora to the Neva near Leningrad. In 1942 the division was reduced to six battalions (dissolution of I./283, I./284 and III./287). From October 1941 to February 1942 there were fighting between Schliselburg and the mouth of the Tosna south of Lake Ladoga and at the Volkhov Pocket near Mostki. The division was then deployed in 1942 at Maluska, Pogostje, Winjagolowo and Konduja. From December 1942 to February 1943, the division was deployed in the winter battle in the “bottleneck” between Shlisselburg and Mga, on the southern bank of Lake Ladoga, on the Neva, on the Sinjavino Heights and on the Popostje pocket – defensive battles followed until the end of 1943 Volkhov and on the Tigoda.

After breaking through to the west at Kamenets-Podolsk, the division was refreshed in June 1944. This was followed by costly retreats across skala into the Tarnopol area and defensive battles on the Tarnopol-Lemberg runway. By the end of the year the division withdrew via the area south of Lemberg and via Sanok to the Small Beskydy Mountains southeast of Tarnow. In January 1945 the division moved to Hungary and took part in the advance south west of the mouth of the Gran. Defensive battles followed south of the Danube, in the Tata-Tarjan-Bajna-Sarisap-Coslnok area, where the division was surrounded. After breaking out of the pocket in Noden in March 1945, the division marched across the Danube and then west into the Pressburg area.

This is quite rare and unique – Schutzbrief A 1944 Swiss letter of protection for a Berlin woman In the summer of 1944, the approaching and inevitable catastrophe becoming more and more clear. A significant Swiss community lived in Berlin during the war; lived in 1928 still 55,800, in 1945 still 20,000 Swiss in Germany. Also for these Swiss it was clear what danger ultimately threatened Berlin The Swiss embassy at Königsplatz in Berlin remained open until the end of hostilities active. In the final phase of the Battle of Berlin, the embassy building was destroyed at the end of April 1945 occupied by Soviet troops and served as a base during the conquest of the Reichstag. The members of the embassy who remained in the house were initially kept in the basement imprisoned and transported to Moscow after the end of the war, from where they only left months later were allowed to return. Before the end of the Second World War, the Swiss Confederation supplied its… Compatriots living in Germany with so-called letters of protection. The letters of protection were clearly visible on the front door before the (expected) winners arrived attached. The occupying troops had a great need for quarters and occupied them therefore the houses of the Germans, but not those with these letters of protection marked Swiss apartments. Featured in a Book Berlin 1945 – Coming out 2024/2025.
