    Default Franz Appel Kurland Pocket. I need HELP!

    Good evening,
    im looking for informations about my Grandpa.
    His name was "Franz Appel" he was born on the 11.08.1925 in Bielefeld (Germany).
    He was on the heer uffz vorschule hannover first.
    Than it is not clear.

    He was 1943 reportet on the "Heere Unteroffiziers Schule Lübben".
    and in 1944 he was reported in the "1.Kompanie Feld Ersatz Batallion 263" and the 2.Kompanie Feld Ersatz Batallion 263.
    And the last report was in the "Stab 2.Batallion Infanterie Regiment 432"

    What i know about him from my family :

    He was in 1945 in the Kurland Pocket. He got home with the last ship "Tsingtau" as a woundend men.
    More we really dont know.

    So i ask for Help.
    If somebody has maybe has his Soldbuch or Wehrpass or maybe documents where he is listed im pleased if it is possible to get pictures.
    Ill pay 1000€ for his wehrpass or soldbuch when somebody has it.

    I really want to know more about him. But he died in 2016 and back then i was to young to ask him.

    It would mean a lot to me. All help is good help!

    In the pictures you can see a document ive got from the Germany Bundes Archive.
    About that he was wounden. And was in the "Regenwurm" lager.

    Im looking forward. Best, Luke

    Did you contact the Bundesarchiv link below and ask for a copy of his service record and if so was it just the card above that they provided you with? They may have his Wehrstammbuch and/or Wehrpass. As he made it back alive the chances are that they won't have his Soldbuch. Various archives linked to the Bundesarchiv might hold different pieces:

    Hay, thanks a lot!
    I really hope that may sometime somebody has his wehrpass or soldbook.

    And yeah i asked the bundesarchiv in 2021.
    But they only tell me the units where he was till 1944 and the paper i linked.
    Best, Luke
