Description: Soldbuch issued in June 1941 to an eventual Oberleutnant z.See (the Kriegsmarine started issuing Soldbücher in June 1941).
He served on a heavy unit at one point as he was awarded the Flottenkriegsabzeichen in April 1942, however he must of served on it prior to June 1941 as the big ship is not known (this is quite a common occurance). He also served on 3 Destroyers, Z-4 ‘Richard Beitzen’, Z-15 ‘Erich Steinbrink’ and Z-33 and was awarded the Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen. He was also awarded the KvK II Kl mit Schwertern and the EK II.
During his time on Z-15 he would of taken part in Operation Sizilien which was the only time that Tirpitz ever fired her guns in anger. Op Sizilien consisted of Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and 9 Destroyers (including Z-15) and their mission was to raid the Allied base at Spitzbergen which they did.
He survived the war as there is an entry for an allied prisoner unit dated 23rd May 1945.
The downside is that unfortunately his photo has been removed and the swastika on the cover was removed and then at a later time inked back in again. Other than that the Soldbuch is in a good condition with all pages present and plenty of entries.
