KIA WWII Medic’s Soldbuch & Award Docs – KIA April 1945 – Marine-Schützen-Bataillon 123!
€595,00
This historically significant German WWII Soldbuch group belonged to a combat medic who served on the Eastern Front until his death in April 1945 during the final battles in East Prussia.
The soldier served with multiple infantry and territorial defense units before being assigned to Sicherungs-Regiment 34 and later Sicherungs-Regiment 45, both of which saw heavy combat during the Soviet offensives in Lithuania. During this period, he was credited with four assault days and four close-combat days and was wounded in action.
He later fought in the Memel area before being transferred near the end of the war to Marine-Schützen-Bataillon 123, the final unit recorded in his Soldbuch.
In April 1945, this unit was encircled and destroyed in the Samland Pocket in East Prussia. Following the launch of the Soviet Samland Offensive on 13 April 1945, German forces in the region were annihilated after intense fighting.
The medic was killed in action on 15 April 1945 in a forest near Kobbelbude, while defending the area against Soviet troops to allow fleeing civilians to escape. His Soldbuch, along with the enclosed ownership certificates, was likely returned to his family via one of the final evacuation ships transporting troops and civilians from the area.
