Need help! Kompanie campaign history and assorted papers 9./J.R.20 (mot )
I bought this paper lot recently and would appreciate any assistance working it all out. It comes from Panzerjager regiment 20 of the ninth army?? ( if I have it correct )
The main book ( A4 size ) is the " War experiences of the Ninth in the West" and covers the French campaign from May 10th 1940 to June 9th 1940. Unfortunately the first few pages ( and therefore the last few also as it is a stapled book ) are missing but the history seems complete - so I don’t know what these may have been?
Along with the booklet came 3 other pieces of paperwork…
- a letter from the commander Oblt Kruger to the mother of one of his fallen soldiers, Josef Lindner who died in the Polish campaign in 1939
- a list of the men of the ninth that fell in Poland and France
- a printed note from the commander with his picture saying something I cannot understand in German - guess a stirring statement?
Anyway, hope from these photos you can fill in some of the gaps for me!
Thanks, Dan
