Original Soldbuch & Wehrpass of Oberwachtmeister Patzig, who served throughout the Spanish Civil War (Legion Condor) and from the start of World War 2 until the end! He served with the Reserve-Flak-Abteilung 231, Reserve-Flak-Abteilung 772, leichte Flak-Abteilung 772, leichte Flak-Abteilung 734 and leichte Flak-Abteilung 754.
He was decorated with a lot (10x!!) awards: Spanienkreuz in Silber, Cruz de Rocha, Teilnamemedaille f. Spanien (?), Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz, Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938, Medalla de Sufrimientos por la Patria, Tätigskeitsabzeichen für Flakartillerie, Ostmedaille, Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (30.1.45) and Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.

Ludwig Contier, who served with the Infanterie-Regiment 685, Feldkommandantur 1007, Kriegswehrmachtgefängnis Verona and Divisions-Nachschubsführer 3 before ending with the Kraftfahr-Ersatz-Abteilung 23. I largely suspect that either with this unit he was thrown into combat late war or ended up with unit on the front shortly before his death and was not noted in the soldbuch, because he was Killed in Action on April 3, 1945 and is buried in Ibbenbüren-Riesenbecker Berg.
