Waffen-SS Soldbuch SS-Unterscharführer Gerhard Schmitz, Panzergrenadier Regiment 2 LSSAH
€1,600.00Soldbuch 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!

Rare Heer Afrikakorps grouping with cufftitle, album and more
€2,325.00A fantastic Set that came out of the Son of the Veteran, last October (2022), The Veteran s name was Lothar Schauer, member of the 164.Leichte AFRIKA Division. Lothar apparently Died around 2005. I borrowed the text from the consignor who, in my opinion, did a great job at describing the set.
The set Includes a Lothar’s
– Fantastic Erel Schirmmütze marked “Offizier Kleiderkasse Berlin Erel Sonderklasse Extra” with photo proof of Lothar Schauer wearing it
– Afrika Cufftitle Uniform removed with photo proof of him it
– Original Afrika CT Award Document
– Photo Album of Lothar with circa 220 very nice Photos including his RAD Armband glued in the Album and also Photo proofed of him wearing it
– Lothar’s Grundschein
– Lothar’s Letter from his Captain in 1941 about the Greek Campaign and congratulating him about the job done there also attacking the Metaxas line.
– Lothat’s Russian POW Letter to the Family from Moscow – Lothar’s father Kennkarte – Lothar s Brother GOTTFRIED Driving License
– Letter about Lothar’s Brother GOTTFRIED Death in December 1944 and photo of Gottfried.
– Feldpost Letter From Lothar to his Brother 4 Days after He died.
– Two copies of photos with his wife as the son apparently decided to keep the originals; Photos of Lothar and his Wife where the Schirm and the Afrika Cufftitle of this Estate are worn
– Copy of his Wound Badge in Black Award Document
– Copy of his Westwall Award Document. Lothar Joined the Rad in late 1939 until early 1940, After the RAD,Around December 1940 and January 1941 He was then sent to the Infanterie Regiment 382 of the 164.Infanterie Division. He Participated in the 1941 Greek Campaign Where the 164.I.D. Attacked from the North east of Greece while attached to the XXX.Army Corps. The Album shows all the Locations in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and from January to July 1942 in KRETA (where the 164.Infanterie Division was Briefly renamed FESTUNGS DIVISION KRETA before Being finally renamed again into 164.Leichte AFRIKA Division) and Then was sent to North Afrika. He was wounded in North Afrika and then I think he was Promoted to Leutnant Between October and December 1942 basing myself on the Dates of the photos in the Album. After The Afrika Campaign He was sent to the Grenadier Ersatz und Ausbildungs Bataillon 104 first and then with Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon 414 based in Plauen which is beside Where he was from in Oelsnitz. As He was in Eastern Germany he likely was sent with his units to the front facing the Red Army towards the end of the war and Was taken POW by the Russians as confirmed from the Russian POW Letter. His Brother Gottfried was part of the Grenadier Regiment 1084 of the 544.Volksgrenadier Division and Died on 16 December 1944 in southern Poland near Debica. There s a Letter that Lothar wrote to his Brother on 20 December 1944 not knowing that his brother was already dead 4 days before he wrote the letter.A spectacular group that would be hard to upgrade!

He was promoted to Oberschütze 1.2.42. He was promoted to Gefreiter on 1.3.42 and Obergefreiter on 1.1.44.
He was issued a number of interesting field gear items such as a Tarnnetz or helmet net, a sewing kit, a visor cap, a two piece reversible winter suit and Kopfhaube. He was armed with a K98.

20.11.44 Infantry Assault Badge in Silver when his unit was fighting in Aachen or the HürtgenwaldHis unit was part of the 12. Volksgrenadier Division which saw a lot of action on the Western front from early october 1944 until the end of the war. The unit was first sent to defend Aachen and saw heavy fighting for the Hürtgenwald. Mid november the division saw heavy action at Stolberg, Hastenrath and Eschweiler which was his hometown and probably the area he was wounded as well. The division was then merged with the 47 Volksgrenadier Division because of heavy losses on 25.11.44. Two days later US troops breached the line near Inden. Late November they were pulled from the line near Merode and sent for rest and refit between Jülich and Düren. Starting 14.12.44 it was moved to Hallschlag and Scheidt in preparation for the Ardennes Offensive. The first line of troops consisted of Grenadier Regiment 48 and Füsilier Regiment 27. The offensive started from Losheimergraben and on 17.12.44 they started opening the road from Büllingen trough Bütgenbach to Malmedy. The attack stalled at Bütgenbach until the 25.12.44. The division was moved to Hierlot where it severed heavy losses in January 1945 consisting of only 600 battle ready troops. It was sent to the Rhine between Leverkusen and Knapsack. In march 1945 it was sent to the Remagen bridgehead and shortly after it capitulated to the American troops in the Ruhrkessel.
A interesting Soldbuch with a load of entries, great for research!
