    Default Kurland Soldbuch + award docs bonus!!!!

    I recently purchased this soldbuch for an Artillery observer with the 48th art btn in the 121 inf div.
    This division was in Kurland - and I found that as at 12 April 1945

    121st Infantry Division: commanded by Generalleutnant Werner Rank until 5/30/45, then Generalmajor Ottomar Hansen
    and consisted in part of ...
    1/,2/405th Infantry Regiment
    1/,2/407th Infantry Regiment
    1/,2/408th Infantry Regiment
    121st Fusilier Battalion
    1/,2/,3/121st Artillery Regiment
    1/48th Artillery Regiment
    121st Panzerjäger Battalion

    JOHANN SAMM was awarded the black and then silver wound badges for bullet and shrapnel wounds on Feb 11th 1944 and then 21th March one year later and the big selling ( purchasing ) point was the award documents still with the soldbuch all these years later - thankfully NOT pulled out and sold separately .....phew!

    If anyone can add to the deciphering I would be most appreciative!
    Cheers, Dan

    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

    Looks like it was part of L Armee Korps in Kurland , probably as a Korps level resource , i must admit Dan i cannot find any direct connection to 121 ID !!

    I guess I was wrong Paul - that was what the seller told me he had worked out - I was drawn in by the award doc and the completeness so accepted his story. Thanks for setting it straight
