Wehrpass to Feldwebel Georg Noack
Noack was born in 1917 in Naumburg / Saale, into a protestant family. He was married and was a salesman in his civilian life.

Reiter Regiment 21
His next unit:
9./ Panzer Regiment 24
The regiment fought its way through Voronezh and Bykowo to Stalingrad as part of the 24th Panzer Division. It was here the regiment went down in the encirclement.
Noack was wounded in Stalingrad earning him a ticket out in November/December 1942.
According to his Wehrpass he was trained as a Tank Gunner and Tank Commander of a Panzer III. See below for an exact model of his regiment at Stalingrad…
After his wounding he would go on to train on the Panther Tank at Erlangen, but as the war continued was sent to the following units…
Sicherungs Battalion der Heeresgruppe Nord
April 1945 – Pz Jagdverband ‘P’ – Potsdam, it could be that this unit took part in the some battles around Berlin in 1945.
