Divisional war diary

[Laurens]

Goodmorning all,

I just saw the webpage of the 45. Infanterie Division which is located on Feldgrau.com. On that particular page, an entry from a divisional war diary is listed.
I wonder who wrote these reports? Which person (~rank) would place his signature under this report?
I have never seen a war diary (not a real one nor a copy), so any info would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Laurens

Hello Laurens!

At divisional level the KTB was written by the O1 the Ordonanzoffizier of the Ia.

Here a standard cover page of a Kriegstagebuch here of the RFSS.


This is a standard page of a KTB. Left time and date, right actions and reports.

Christoph, are you acquiring these KTB's in microfilm form?

[Christoph Awender]

Hi Robert... No I copy them with a normal copy machine in the BAMA. On microfiché I have just the KStN collection.

You have to have the image online somewhere. When you post an answer or a new thread there are some options above the text window. click the option -img- and enter a URL then click -Img- again and the image will appear in your thread.
