DKiG Wehrpass

Thought I'd add the latest addition to my collection: Wehrpass to Oberleutnant Willy Schulze who was a Company Commander in Grenadier Rgt 434 (253 Infantry Division) which would spend the vast majority of the Russian Campaign as a component of AG Mitte.
On the 11th February 1944 Willy Schulze was awarded the Deutsche Kreuz in Gold (although the Ordenstrager lists his award date as 10th February 1944) but unfortunately he did not have much longer left to live as he was killed on the 30th April 1944 at Turzyck with the Deutsche Kreuz in Gold entry being posthumously posted in his WP on 10th May 1944.

Thanks for the comments Nick. I am especially pleased that the DKiG entry has been counter signed showing that it was entered during that period.
