WWII German Wehrmacht Wehrpass KIA Grouping -Oberfeldwebel Pflüger – Saar Offensive 1939 Action Report – IR81 WIA France 1940 – Black Wounds Badge Certificate Le Hamal (Rare version!) Streifendienst – Grenadier Regiment Lublin

Description

Interesting little grouping to Oberfeldwebel Pflüger

Very interesting and unusual entry is that in September of 1939, he took part in the battle known as the Saar Offensive – when France invaded the Saarland in 1939!!

“During a reconnaissance operation carried out by the 9th Company on 27 September 1939, despite difficult circumstances (captured prisoners, heavy rain, and several French soldiers put out of action), the mission was successfully completed. Through exceptional prudence and execution of the operation, it was possible to achieve
success with minimal own losses.I express my recognition to the leader of the reconnaissance patrol”

He was fighting in France with Infanterie Regiment 81, and was injured in a battle with French Soldiers in Le Hamal in June 1940.

Medals: West Wall Medal, Iron Cross, Wounds Badge in Black

He would serve in various other units including Streifendienst! Not often seen!

He was later killed in action with Grenadier Regiment Lublin in Poland 1944.

Final Comments

The fact that he was involved in operations in September 1939 makes this grouping one of a kind, not many units actually took part in the fighting during the Saar Offensive, but having the typed letter naming him surely makes this quite a desirable item.
