Grouping of Obermusikmeister of Inf.Rgt.65 (22.Inf.Div.) (Tropical ID Photo in Soldbuch!)

Grouping of Obermusikmeister Friedrich Majowski of Infanterie-Regiment 65 of the 22. (LL) Infanterie-Division. Most interestingly, is the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse mit Schwertern award document that was signed by Generalmajor Friedrich Kreipe, only 6 days before he was kidnapped by the British SOE! You can read more here: Kidnapping of Heinrich Kreipe (Wikipedia). As well as the ID Photograph in his Soldbuch which wasn’t conform with the guidelines, showing Majowski from a little distance in which you can see him wearing tropical clothing and his KVK1! The Soldbuch is a second issue (but from early on 1941) while serving with Infanterie-Regiment 355 of the 214. Infanterie-Division. Afterwards, he went to serve in the Infanterie-Regiment 65 and the Divisional Staff of the 22. Infanterie-Division with the Musikkorps! During his service, he earned both the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. & 1. Klasse mit Schwertern and the Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichnung 3. & 4. Klasse. Notably, in his Soldbuch also is entered that he received a Tropical Watch! He (or someone else) also wrote his discharge from Allied captivity in 1948 (on the leave page).

The grouping contains:

• His Soldbuch
• Award documents for the KVK2 & KVK1
• Award documents for the Dienstauszeichnung 3. & 4. Klasse
• 3x Promotional documents (the two large ones were cut to A4-size!)
• an Ehren-Urkunde
