Soldbuch to SS-Unterscharführer Gerhard Schmitz from Hildesheim. His dogtag is marked 6.SS-Pi.St. indicating 6. SS Pionier Sturmbann. This indicates he was already in service in 1940 or earlier. It seems he lost his Soldbuch or it wasn’t readable any more at some point because most notes are later in the war. He served with SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment which fell under the 1. SS Panzerdivision Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. He had a set of cartridge pouches and a bayonet frog indicating he was most probably armed with a K98.

He was wounded numerous times by shrapnel in 1940, 1941, 1942 and 1945. On 12 Mai 1945 he was entered at Kriegslazarett 930 which was located in Mattighofen in Austria.

He was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz, Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber and the KVK II Klasse with swords. Considering his line of service he must have had whitnessed most of the important battles of the Division including the Ardennes offensive and the end of the war in Austria. A nice soldbuch which could be a nice base for further research!
