Recipient: Gefreiter Meissl
Unit: 1. Kompanie / Panzergrenadier-Regiment 304 (gep.), 2. Panzer-Division

Grouping Includes

• Wehrpass (complete with original photo)

• “Antrag für die Verleihung des Panzerkampfabzeichens in Bronze”
  (Application for the Award of the Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze) — a rare surviving document connected directly to his decoration.

Service & Decorations

• Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (Wound Badge in Black)

  • Wounded September 1943 by shrapnel in the feet and face — likely ending his frontline combat service.

Collector’s Notes

• The Wehrpass is complete, photo intact, and well-documented.

• The award application (Antrag) for the Panzer Assault Badge is particularly scarce — these documents were normally discarded after processing, making this an excellent addition for paper collectors.

• Strong divisional link to the 2. Panzer-Division and its Panzergrenadiers.

Condition

• As seen in photos: original wartime documents, period wear but fully legible and intact.
