During August 1944 part of the 6th Armee, area of campaign map is below; http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/Korps/Karte/LXXII0844.jpg Soldiers were not always in the thick of the action. A common quote by veterans is "hurry up and wait". Periods of intense action interspersed...

If he was serving as motorised infantry then a bronze version of the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen. If armoured crew member then Panzerkampfabzeichen.

Would be good if you were able to post aome photos of this Soldbuch. Was he actually serving aboard a vessel or was he attached to a shore batterie or attached as infantry to a unit?

Hi Jordan, The Deutsches Dienstelle WaSt in Berlin will have records of his service: https://www.dd-wast.de/en/home.html As a relative you will be able to obtain them if they have anything. The award of the EKi or EKii is not unusual but unless you have his Soldbuch it will be almost impossible to t...

Hi, Would suggest you contact the Deutsches Dienstelle WaSt in Berlin: https://www.dd-wast.de/en/home.html They should have record of his service within the Stellvertretendes Generalkommando XIII. Armeekorps. They should also be able to give you his specific unit details. For sure he was within 13th...

Glad to help.

Hi, I agree that the picture is earlier than 1946 for a couple of reasons. Firstly he wears the Infanterie schulterklappen with his unit on them, although they are not visible to decide his unit. Secondly there is a breast eagle on his tunic, which if the picture was taken during or shortly after So...

Thanks for your reply John. I truly hope that Feldgrau can continue to flourish and eradicate this spam invasion.

Thanks for the heads up Klaus, so there is still life here abouts.

I would suggest you ask at the Wehrmacht Awards Forum - as that is largely populated by collectors. I would personally doubt you have Walter Kempf's tunic - very well known and for sure his uniform relics if they exist will be known of. Did you get this from an auction house, if so they may have inf...

No I realise it's Jim (jpollar) who is the admin now. But it was originally Jason who was largely responsible for this fine body of work. It is a pity it all appears to be going the way of all flesh.

Will the last person out please lock the door? I fear Feldgrau is in it's death throes. If it's being choked with Spammers then there is little to stay around for. A great pity that Jason Pipes site should end this way.

What this place needs is an approval system where new members are required approval by the mods before they are let loose upon the general forum. Spammers are the poisonous vine weed to any forum.

Not a straight forward question if you are talking about percentage of jump trained FJ as opposed to those taken into their ranks later an only ever served as ground troops.

I would say it is a fantasy as this number doesn't correspond with known issue numbers.
