Grenadier (Festungs) Regiment 863 (1943 – 1944/45) The 348th Infantry Division was created on 14 September 1942 for the OB West during World War II. The unit was formed as a ground-based division. The officer corps and the majority of the non-commissioned officers had combat experience from other theaters of war and were transferred to the division either after recovering or from a deployment at home. The troops were mostly made up of older, poorly trained soldiers. The reinforcements and supply troops were only poorly trained and reliant on fixed installations. After its formation, the division was deployed from November 1942 onwards to protect the coast in the Dieppe area and to the northeast. At the time of the Allied landings at Dieppe in August 1942, the division was still training in the hinterland and did not directly intervene in the fighting on the beachhead. After the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944, the division remained in the Dieppe area and was not transferred to Normandy until mid-August 1944. During the fighting there, the division was wiped out within a very short time and officially disbanded on September 29, 1944. Equipment / Medals Personal D.W Pistol , War Merit Cross with Swords – 20.4.1943 It seems he was either captured or there are no records on him or his fate.

WWII German Soldbuch – Gefreiter Müller – Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 146 – 25 Panzer Division – 1945 Kampfgruppe Michalke
Josef Müller was enlisted in 1944 into the German Army. Frontline Units Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 146 The division was reorganized here. Parts of the division were to be reorganized in Grafenwöhr, but then had to be handed over to the 103rd Panzer Brigade. Although the formation was not yet complete, the 25th Panzer Division, still only in combat group strength, had to be relocated to the Eastern Front again at the end of August 1944. This was relocated to the Warsaw combat area as an OKH reserve to continue its reorganization there. At the beginning of October 1944, the 25th Panzer Division combat group was deployed in association with the 3rd Panzer Division, the 252nd Infantry Division and the 104th Army Panzer Brigade in the HKL around the Russian “Narew bridgehead around Serok”. However, it was not possible to eliminate the bridgehead here. The 25th Panzer Division combat group was then deployed to fend off the major Russian offensive on the Narew. After completing this mission, the 104th Panzer Brigade was integrated into the 25th Panzer Division’s combat group at the end of October 1944. In November 1944, the 25th Panzer Division and its combat groups fought in the Warsaw area to iron out dangerous incursions by the infantry divisions deployed there. At the end of November 1944, the division was withdrawn from the 9th Army, then assembled in the area southwest of Warsaw and then moved to the Radom-Bialobrzegi area, where it was briefly refreshed near the front. After the start of the Russian winter offensive in January 1945, the division was deployed in the Warka bridgehead north of Radom. After three days of major fighting, the division had to withdraw to the west, found loose contact with the “Nehring Pocket” and crossed the Oder north of Glogau at the end of January 1945. It seems Müller was wounded in December of 1944… Kampfgruppe Michalke Panzergrenadier-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon 115 Marsch Kompanie 115 It seems that in February of 1945, Müller was mobilised once again. Issued combat equipment and a weapon (P38 Pistol in April 1945) . What seems to be clear is that the unit was put into action in April 1945 under the Panzer Ausbildungs Verband Franken. They were later encircled near Stuttgart a few weeks later. Missing Pages – 9/10/11/12, Photo is loose but original to the Soldbuch. Priced accordingly

WWII German Kriegsmarine Soldbuch – Ob.Masch Höfeld – Destroyer Z30 – Battle of the Barents Sea 1942 – Sunk Submarine!
$565.00Soldbuch issued in 1941 to Höfeld He would serve on Destroyer Z30 Ships History: Z30 was one of fifteen Type 1936A destroyers built for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) during World War II. Completed in 1941, the ship was transferred to Norwegian waters in early 1942 where she remained for most of the rest of her career, escorting convoys and laying minefields. She played a minor role in the indecisive Battle of the Barents Sea at the end of the year and was damaged during the raid on the island of Spitsbergen in September 1943. Z30 was crippled when she struck a mine in late 1944 and spent the rest of the war under repair. The ship was allocated to Great Britain after the war who used her to test the effects of underwater explosions. Upon their completion in 1948, Z30 was broken up for scrap. Decorated with the Destroyer Badge and EK2 for service on Z30. “On 5–8 September Z30, her sister Z29, and the destroyer Z4 Richard Beitzen laid a minefield in the Kara Strait between the island of Novaya Zemlya and Vaygach Island. Later that month, she participated in Operation Zarin, a minelaying mission off the coast of Novaya Zemlya from 24 to 28 September, together with Admiral Hipper, and her sisters Z23, Z28, and Z29. On 13–15 October, Z30, her sister Z27, Z4 Richard Beitzen and the destroyer Z16 Friedrich Eckoldt laid a minefield off the Kanin Peninsula at the mouth of the White Sea that sank the Soviet icebreaker Mikoyan. Three weeks later, the same four destroyers escorted Admiral Hipper as she attempted to intercept Allied merchant ships proceeding independently to Soviet ports in early November. They intercepted and sank the westbound Soviet oil tanker Donbass and the submarine chaser BO-78 on the 7th” Awards 3.11.1942 – Iron Cross Second Class 20.11.1942 – Destroyer Badge Seems he ended the war in a POW camp in Norway, Kaland. Then in France at Camp de Stetten June 1946. Rare to find a nice KM book like this with such a unique story. Hs Brother Kurts Death Notice was in the back of his Soldbuch. As well as his POW release papers and ticket home. Worthy of deeper research.
