Early SS Members Fencing Jacket & Trousers – Sold
Early SS Fencing Jacket and Trousers. Made by Max Richter, Curt Knoch in Berlin N.W7 Friedrichstrasse 122. There is really little known about these, there seems to be an accepted collector model of the Fencing Raute and it is mentioned in one book from the early 1990s. I have done a search into the firm and it was first registered in 1920s, with a direct link in the phonebook of 1926 in Berlin. An interesting piece and comes out of a large estate that was recently sold in the USA.

Heinrich Ingenhaag Born 17.6.1912 in Gladbach, worked in Coal Mine worker. Married in Heerlen Holland in 1934, to Wilhelmena Books. It seems they lived for some time together in Heerlen Holland. Mobilised in December of 1943, in Lingen (Ems) his Soldbuch was issued with: Stamm Kp Grenadier Ersatz Batl (Mot) 156 – 1943 Sec Stamp: 1 Sept 1944 Promotion: 13.10.1944 – Panzer Grenadier E u A Batl 215 – Windhund https://lexikon-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/InfErsBat/InfErsBat215-R.htm Frontline Units He had an Einsatzurlaub – 8.9.1944 – 7.10.1944 This was likely due to actions in France? Deserves further investigations. Grenadier Ausbildungs Batl (mot) 156 Grenadier Regiment (mot) 1021 March 1944 – Arrived in Krakow, Poland at a hospital but was discharged in August of 1944 due to contacting Tuberculosis. Although he had a full list of equipment, including a Pistol and holster, Lamp, binoculars. Panzer Grenadier Regiment 128 – 23rd Panzer Division The 23rd Panzer Division was part of the German defence and retreat in the southern Ukraine, frequently being moved between crisis points. Between April and July 1944 it was a part of the 8th Army within the Army Group South Ukraine defending the area to the north of Jassy. After being sent to Poland in mid-1944, the division returned to the southern sector during the collapse of the German frontline in Romania. After the retreat into Hungary the division fought in defensive battles there. The majority of the division was trapped and destroyed in Székesfehérvár in March 1945. The remainder of the division surrendered to British forces in May 1945. Wounded 3.4.1945 – Arrived in a Hospital in Lienz. Awarded the Black Wounds Badge on the 26.5.1945 Could it have been he was awarded this for mine clearing? “Starting on 21 May, the division sent clean-up details out along the Mauterndorf- Tamsweg road to clean up the agricultural areas, roads and trails of vehicular wrecks and rubble. Panzer-Regiment 23 assumed responsibility for feeding and caring for a camp composed of civilians, mostly those who had been bombed out of their homes in Germany. The medical personnel set up a clearing station in Mauterndorf for the division. The divisional engineers were employed in road work outside of the internment area and went to the work places daily by vehicle.” He was assigned to Marsch Regiment Radstadt 1 (POW Unit) It seems he was then sent home in June 0f 1945. Nice Soldbuch with the matching Wounds Badge in Black (complete with pin and hook) that never left the back pouch of the Soldbuch!

The Infantry Division Ulrich von Hutten was an infantry division of the German Wehrmacht during World War II, comprising the Army (Heer), Navy (Kriegsmarine), and Air Force (Luftwaffe). The Wehrmacht had numerous divisions, including infantry, armored, and other specialized units, which were involved in various military campaigns throughout the war. It was formed at the end of March 1945, just over a month before the end of the war. The division was named after German Protestant reformer Ulrich von Hutten (1488–1523). The Infantry Division Ulrich von Hutten was formed on 30 March 1945 in Wittenberg in Wehrkreis IV. The Ulrich von Hutten Division was part of the 35th and final Aufstellungswelle of the German Wehrmacht. It was formed from students of various schools from all over Wehrkreis IV, as well as military replacement personnel.Many soldiers of the 190th Infantry Division were used to staff the Ulrich von Hutten Division. After 13 April 1945, Gerhard Engel became divisional commander, and remained in this post until war’s end. The division saw its first combat near Bitterfeld as part of the 11th Army. It was then moved to the 12th Army in preparation of the planned liberation of the encircled German capital, Berlin. The 12th Army reached Potsdam, but was then rerouted by its commander Walther Wenck to assist the 9th Army, commanded by Theodor Busse, which had sustained heavy damage in combat against the Red Army at the Battle of Halbe. The 9th and 12th Armies then turned west towards the Elbe river with the intention to surrender to the United States Army rather than the Soviet forces. The German formations as well as the civilians they escorted sustained heavy casualties, but ultimately fulfilled that goal. As part of the 12th Army’s surrender to the American forces, the Infantry Division Ulrich von Hutten was taken prisoner at Tangermünde in May 1945. Conclusion It would seem that the division seen combat right at the final days of the war. It seems she has survived although no further research helped find out what may have happened to her. This was one of the final stories in the upcoming Berlin Book mentioned often on this website.
