Beautiful M36 field blouse grouping to Karl Adolf Glüth complete with sidecap, Wehrpass, documents and Harmonica manual. The group was recently found in household clearing in Germany and as far as I know has not been in a single collection before. The jacket is a textbook, non modified M36 field blouse dated 1939. The garment is in a good, large size with period sewn insignia. The left breast pocket is addorned with two sets of award loops with their original Infanteriesturmabzeichen (Schuco 41) and its unmarked Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz. The shoulderstraps are matching and nice early example with stonegrey backing material and tongues. The kragenlitzen are mounted, infantry examples. The garment retains 3 belt hooks and its Kragenbinde. The sidecap is in salty but untouched condition with period sewn insignia.

The Wehrpass has a number of interesting notes about Glüth; his family, awards, place of birth etcetera. Glüth enlisted in 1937 in Infanterie Regiment 18 which he served until his death 27.10.1942. He was trained with the 98K, MG34, P08 Luger, Lei.Gr.W. 36, Panzerbüchse 38, MP28 and MP38. He was promoted to Oberschützen 1.11.38, Gefreiter 1.12.38 and Unteroffizier 1.11.39. He was awarded the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber 2.7.41, the Eisernez Kreuz II klasse 22.2.42, the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz 22.2.42 and the Ostmedaille 4.8.42.

I have literally translated the most interesting battles noted in his Wehrpass. The war began for Glüth on 17.9.39 fighting at the Rhein, 18.10.39 at Saar, Kornbach. 9.5.40 he broke through to the Ärmelkanal, 15.5.40 the push to through Belgium to France, 21.5.40 fighting at the Somme, 5.6.40 second battle for France, 6.6.40 crossing the Somme, 8.6.40 following battles from the Somme to the Seine, 12.6.40 battle at the Seine, 19.6.40 battles south of the Seine and movement to the Loire, 20.6.40 crossing the Loire, 26.6.40 occupation of France. 3.9.40 he was moved to Coastal guard at the Atlantikküste. 25.3.41 he guarded the Kanalküste. 22.6.41 the battle from Bialystock and Minsk, 8.7.41 battle at Smolensk, 26.7.41 defensive battles at the Düna and Smolensk. 2.10.41 the double battle at Wjasma and Brjansk, breakthrough at the Dnepr positions. 4.10.41 the move to Moscow, Woronesj and Kalinin.

A great and interesting uniform grouping with loads of possibilities for further research!

Original yet restored uniform set belonging to one man. According to the collector I bought it from the insignia were found together with the uniform; the breast eagle, cuff title and collar tabs were restored post war. The garment is in good, worn condition and is a typical pre war Waffenrock modified for field wear with the addition of two lower pockets. The insignia is typical for a Leutnant der Panzergrenadiere and match the condition of the jacket. The garment has a few moth damages here and there but is in good displayable and been there condition.
