LW Soldbuch – Flakscheinwerfer & Festung-Pantherturm-Kp. (Panther Turret!) (3x Awards)

Offered here is an original Luftwaffe Soldbuch belonging to Oberwachtmeister Gerhard Domke, who served with several Flak and searchlight units during the Second World War. His documented service includes:

• Flak-Scheinwerfer-Regiment 146

• Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilungen 158 and 229

• Festung-Pantherturm-Kompanie 1213

• Festung-Pantherturm-Kompanie 1212, which saw combat in the Frankfurt (Oder) area during the final phase of the war

During his military career, Domke was awarded the following decorations:

• Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (Iron Cross 2nd Class)

• Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42 (Eastern Front Medal)

• Flakkampfabzeichen (Flak Battle Badge)

This Soldbuch is particularly noteworthy due to Domke’s service with a Pantherturm unit, making it a rare and desirable document. Pantherturm units employed detached Panther tank turrets mounted on concrete or steel bunkers for static defensive purposes, primarily in the later stages of World War II.

Condition:

• Complete Soldbuch with original photograph and all pages present

• Front cover denazified, as commonly encountered

• Overall condition consistent with wartime use (see images for details)

A scarce and historically significant Soldbuch, especially attractive to collectors of Pantherturm, Flak, and late-war defensive units.
