Soldbuch – Pioneer Brandt – 1945 – Oder Front – Rare Late War Soldbuch Version
Description
Soldbuch to Bau-Pioneer Hermann Brandt
Born in 1903 into a protestant family, he was a normal worker and was married.
His Soldbuch was issued on the 6th of April 1945!
This last ditch Soldbuch is a hard cover version, with no pouches and is of not great quality reflective of the situation at the time.
His frontline unit was:
Bau-Pionier-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon 3
According to the Lexicon der Wehrmacht, his unit was thrown into action on the Oder Front in April 1945.
He seems to have been in a hospital in July of 1945, a lucky man to have survived the onslaught unleashed on the Oder…
