A particularly interesting late-war entry is dated 11 May 1945, shortly after the German capitulation:

„Überführt in das Rgt. Helgoland 2. Btl. – 3. Kompanie Freiburg-Halbe“

This is an unusual and interesting final-war entry, documenting his transfer into Regiment Helgoland, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Company, Freiburg-Halbe.

The Soldbuch also retains numerous original wartime stamps, handwritten entries and official annotations, making it a very interesting late-war Kriegsmarine document with a clearly identifiable owner and documented unit history.

Condition

Original used condition with the expected age, handling and storage wear. The document shows genuine wartime use, with some fading, staining and wear to the covers and pages. The original photograph remains present. Denazified.

A very interesting personal Kriegsmarine Soldbuch, particularly notable for the documented March 1945 service with Marine-Festungs-Pionier-Bataillon 360 and the unusual 11 May 1945 transfer entry.
