Heer Soldbuch – Feldwebel Worofsky – Gebirgs-Jäger-Regiment 99 (1. Gebirgs-Division) – Shot in Poland 1939 – Iron Cross (Hold)
Very nice Soldbuch with leather cover/pouch. It was Issued just before the war broke out to Richard Worofsky, who was assigned to: Gebirgs-Jäger-Regiment 99 On September 5, 1939, the regiment crossed the German-Polish border from Presov in Slovakia, east of the High Tatras, without enemy interference. On September 6, 1939, there was no contact with the enemy either. There was also no significant resistance on the push forward, so that marching performances of up to 60 kilometers per day were possible. On September 11, 1939, the road junction Sambor was captured. To the west of the Grodek strait, three Polish divisions were encircled, which were broken up by September 18, 1939 It would seem that Worofsky was hit here by a bullet, breaking his bones on his left upper leg. It would take him close to two years to recover from his wounds. After he joined a GJ Training unit, where he worked till the end of the war. There is a red X although it was likely a result of cancelation at the end of the war as he is not listed as Killed in Action. He was awarded the following medals: Iron Cross Second Class Infantry Assault Badge Wounds Badge in Silver In summary, a rare Soldbuch due to the fact he was wounded during the Polish campaign quite badly.
