It does seem to fit with what happened. Judging by how he finished his last letter I think he knew that he wouldn't be returning home. There is a chance that he was taken prisoner by the Russians but died in a PoW camp at a later stage, but just as likely that he died in the final days of the Regime...

I can confirm that he isn't listed in the Volksbund database but the database, while extensive, isn't complete by any means.

Ypu can follow the track of the relevant divisions here, just scroll down on each one and you can get a basic track of where they were at particular times... 14 Pz Div (Pz.Art.Rgt 4) - http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/Panzerdivisionen/14PD-R.htm 13 Pz Div (Pz.Rgt 4) - http://www.lexi...

In the summer of 1943 Panzer Artillery Rgt 4 were located in France, in the region of Nantes-Angers, along with the rest of 14 Pz Division after it was destroyed at Stalingrad. It was sent back to the Eastern Front in October 1943 with the first units of the Division departing from France on 17th Oc...

The Feldpost Number of 57710 isn't for Panzer Rgt 4 - it is for the II Battalion of Panzer Artillery Rgt 4, while the Feldpost Number of 47541 is for the Werkstatt Zug of the two units you mentioned...

Having relooked at the information, the movements for 3 Kompanie listed above are wrong for 3./Pol.Btl 322. Those listed above relate to 3./Pol.Rgt Mitte and with Pol.Rgt Mitte, 3./Pol.Btl 322 was reported as the 9 Kompanie. So its movements do allow for the entry n the Dienstpass for the Rollbahn 1...

Thanks for the additional comments. I have been able to find out a decent amount of information about the movements of Pol.Btl 322 but tallying them up with what is mentioned in the Dienstpass is confusing although Google Earth has been a great help. The 252 Inf.Div entry doesn't tally with 3 Kompan...

You have come up trumps again, thank you. It is hard to know what places they mean as during the period shown Pol.Btl 322 were going from place to place rounding up and executing Jews, including massacres at Bialystok in July 1941 and in Mogilev in Ocober 1941 so I would imagine places like villages...

Hello,
Can anyone help to translate these entries in a Polizei Dienstpass to a member of Pol.Btl 322 please?

Just thought I'd highlight the release of this dual German/English language book in case people were unaware of it...
