Re: KIA in Russia wehrpass
This is nice!! Compared to collectibles with no identity,,at least some of them,, ID books put the owner in front of the line when knowing their exact whereabouts during the war. Nice!! Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Re: KIA in Russia wehrpass
Thanks Larry, I have been trying to find one that had a bit of "action" to it and it looks like I have found it!
Army gruppe North in Autumn 1942 was trying still to hold the line and break through to the entrapped Demyansk pocket ( while Army gruppe south was pushing to the Volga ) so that too puts Obergefreiter Vogel in the thick of the Russian front coming into another winter ......

Re: KIA in Russia wehrpass
Initially he saw action during the advance of Army Group Centre into Russia , Bialystock , Minsk , Slonim, across the River Beresina , then the Stalin Line and Smolensk followed by later combat in the Bryansk Sud Kessel and Wyasma !! Luckily in November he was sent to France and missed the winter of 1941/42 in Russia. He returned to the Front in Feb 1942 as part of the 5 Jager Division , 16th Armee and was hit in the head South of Lake Ilmen , dying at Alexino and bering buried there 17km wsw of Staraya Russa , a very nice combat Wehrpass 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
