WWII German Luftwaffe Soldbuch – Flieger Fritz Krause – Fallschirm-Jäger-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Regiment 3 – Late War FJ

Description

This Soldbuch was issued to Fritz Krause born in 1924, he was drafted into a Luftwaffe replacement unit in late 1944. 

By 1945 he was in training with Fallschirm-Jäger-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Regiment 3 (20 FJD).

During the period 4-8 May 1945, the remnants of the 9. Armee, attached to the 12. Armee, crossed to the west bank of the Elbe and surrendered to the U.S. Ninth Army.

It would seem he was involved in the last battles although there are not many entries more to follow. 

A nice example of a late war FJ, who seen the end of the war out he is not listed as KIA.
