WWII German Soldbuch Uffz Kleinert – Braunschweig April 1945 – Battle Damaged – Captured by US Army 1945 !
£225.00Rolf Kleinert from Dresden was born in 1920, he worked in his civilian career as a textiles salesman. Soldbuch issued on October 1940. Frontline Units: Feldkommandantur 750 (1941) Grenadier Regiment 515 (294 Infanterie Division) Grenadier Regiment 514 (294 Infanterie Division) Last Unit: Marschkompanie / Grenadier Ersatz Bataillon 17 ( Braunschweig) According to another Soldbuch of Gefreiter Johannes Stadtmüller from Bürstadt, he was in the exactly the same replacement unit at the same time, Statdmüller was killed by US Forces (30th US Infantry Division) on the grounds of the “Domäne Schickelsheim” Manor near Braunschweig, on 12th of April 1945. https://crainsmilitaria.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4634 Clearly, this was the last action for Kleinert who seems to have been captured around this time. I was unable to find anything about him in the German KIA or MIA lists. Wounded October of 1942 – 31b – Grenade Splinter in the face (see photo) – through his chin! And another splinter (according to the entry in page 1 in pencil in the upper arm) Very lucky! Spent till November of 1943 healing Seems in September of 1944, he attempted to state he was again suffering from this and it was found out to be not true and he was found fit for service. Last note: Interestingly, he has had the front cover replaced! As clearly the Soldbuch had a sprinter right though it!

WWII Waffen SS Soldbuch – SS Sturmmann Wichmann – SS Jäger Btl 500 – Wounded Fighting Partisans – SS-Jagdverbände – Very Rare Unit
£1,843.00Here we have a rather rare SS Unit, I have not seen any to this unit in many years dealing in IDs. Siegmund Wichmann was born in 1923 in Romania. He was enlisted/Volunteered for the Waffen SS in April 1943 with: Stammkompanie / SS Grenadier Ersatz Btl “Ost” After training he was posted to his frontline unit: SS Grenadier Ausbildungs Btl “Ost” SS Jäger Btl 500 – Stabskompanie Commander SS-Sturmbannführer Beilhack Manpower strength 30 June 1944 – 1.271 SS-Jäger-Btl 500 was under the administrative command of 292. Infanterie-Division, which was part of Armee Gruppe Mitte from June 1941 to January 1945. A quick bit of research shows the divisional commander from 30.6.1944 to 1.9.1944 to have been Generalmajor Johannes Gittner. SS-Jäger-Btl 500 was engaged in security and anti-partisan operations behind the German lines during its time with 292. SS-Jäger-Btl 500 was disbanded in October 1944, the survivors being sent to SS-Panzergrenadier-Ausbildungs und Ersatz Btl 35, which was the depot of the SS-Jagdverbände and SS-Fallschirmjäger-Btl 500 and 600. Tessin: SS-Jäger-Btl.500 * 15. 4. 1944 zu 5 Kpn. aus dem Jäger-Btl. der Nachschub-Kdtr. Rußland-Mitte in Moorlager (Bereza-Kartuska bei Brest-Litowsk); im Partisaneneinsatz Mittelrußland, zuletzt Sept. 1944 bei Warschau; Okt. 1944 aufgelöst; Abwicklung beim SS-A usb.und Ers.Btl. 35 in Konitz. U: Sondertruppe RF -SS In March of 1945, it seems he was issued combat equipment once again including a rifle for combat with his replacement unit. SS Grenadier Ausbildungs und Ersatz Batl 25 – Konitz Westpreussen Interestingly, SS-Jagdverbände merely used SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Ausb.u.Ers.Btl. 35 as a ‘cover’. SS-Führungs-Hauptamt order of 1.12.1944 changes the nomenclature from SS-Grenadier-Ausbildungs und Ersatz-Bataillon 35 to SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Ausb.u.Ers.Btl. 35 with effect from 15.11.1944. The latter designation was used as early as October 1944 in paybooks issued to members of SS-Fallschirmjäger-Btl 600 and the SS-Jagdverbände. Promoted SS Sturmmann – February 1945 – SS Grenadier Ersatz Btl 35 Awards Black Wounds Badge – Wounded on the 15th of July 1944 – fighting Partisans Given in June of 1944 a special Führer Paket along with money. Last comments Very rare unit, directly engaged with fighting partisans.
