Need help! A compass , it´s box and a badge ,Soldier bringbacks from 1941.
My fellow collectors
These three items were brought home by my Grandmothers first husband
the Unteroffizier Wilhelm Schenk.
Willy was serving in the IR 133 , the regiment attacking the Brest Litowsk
Fortress on the first day of the russian campaign.
Willy did not make it home , he fell on february 11th in the Orel region.
While the small compass and the part of the Osoviakim badge are quite clear to me , I really would like to know the meaning of the writing on the small cardboard box that was used to keep the compass.
Is it the original box of the compass ?
I am looking forward your inputs !
Regards
Bernhard
