Stunning fieldmade and handsigned 'Soldatenglück' document (DIN A4, can be opened) with “Dem Scheidenden techn. Inspektor (K) Voigtl wünschen bestes Soldatenglück” (The departing techn. Inspector (K) Voigtl, wishes the best 'Soldier's luck'), “Offiziere des Stabes der 196. Infanterie-Division” (Officers of the Divisional Staff of the 196. Infanterie-Division). This document was handsigned by all of the Divisional Staff officers of the Division! The 196. Infanterie-Division was engaged in the fightings and occupation of Drontheim (Trondheim), Norway. A stunning and researchable document from a Division serving years on the Norwegian front! One of the signatures is from the Divisional Commander Generalleutnant Kurt Möhring (Knight’s Cross and was Killed in Action during the Battle of the Bulge as Commander of the 276. Volks-Grenadier-Division). On December 18, 1944 Major-General Kurt Moehring, was on his way back to his command post when he got killed in his staff car near the village of Beaufort by machinegun fire. Interestingly, his command car was an American jeep and his death is disputed due the American took credit for his death but according to local historians there were no US troops within that area 48 hours after the offensive.
