My first complete Soldbuch

[josephc]

Picked up at local auction tonight. Grenadier Franz Rieping. Originally in Stamm-Kp.Gren.Ers.u.Aush Batl. 365.

Trained in geweht, seitengewehr, spaten & gasmaske and some additional wording i can not make out - gasplune? H.E.M. and something else. There is also a couple extra sheets tucked in the back pocket of the book.

I have not completed translation; if a forum member of more experience sees something interesting please call it out thanks.

"Ausgebildet an Gewehr 98 k / lMG 34" = "trained for rifle 98 k / light machine gun 34"
"Erreichter Ausbildungsstand: gut" = "training level attained: good"
"Vorgeschlagene Verwendung: Gew.Schtz. (= Gewehrschütze)" = "suggested assignment: rifleman"

It says "Gren. Rgt. 751" = "Grenadier-Regiment 751". He was with the 6th company.
