Hi Chaps, I’m really struggling with this one, even with the basic details on page 3!! I’m not even sure his name is Zumb:mad: Anyway, I’d be very grateful for any info that can be added to the below, particularly page 3, his units on page 12, where he served pages 32/33 & the places he was during Operation Citadel on page 34 : -

Wehrpass belonging to Infantry Corporal ??Zumb?? who served on the Russian Front and was assigned to Sturm-Regiment 195?? and killed during the Battle for Kursk in July 1943.
On 7th July 1943 Cpl Zumb is documented on page 34 as receiving a bauchschuss,(shot to the stomach) in ??? while fighting on the Northern sector of the Kursk salient in ??? southeast of Orel, Russia. He died (gestorben) the following day, 8th July 1943, in field hospital? 178 in ???
Page 32 and Page 33 shows this soldier had previously served in France. On 22 June 1941 he crossed the Russian Border and participated in numerous battles leading up to and including the Russian counter offensive before Moscow on 5 December 1941.
Page 23 shows the award of the East Medal (Russian Front Medal) 1941/42 on 5 August 1942
Page 22 shows promotions to Gefreiten and Obergefreiten

Thanks in advance for any help,

Cheers,

Richard.
