Description

Karl Hermann Niggloh was born in 1926 in Westfahlen, Germany.

Enlisted in 1944 in the Wehrmacht he was sent for training with Artillerie-Ersatz-Abteilung 31 

It sees they were mobilised in early 1945 and sent to the front. In January, a telegram arrived to his house telling him to return to the unit immediately.

In the rear pouch of the Soldbuch are various pocket litter including a photograph, a permit to enter the driving area of a unit.

The most interesting thing about this small grouping is the two letters that came with it:

It surfaced in the United Kingdom.

”Impressions of NAZI Germany, East of the Rhine – Peter Graham

I have just returned from the airborne assault east of the Rhine.

Germany the Nation of War…… Page 2, after landing and unloading a jeep and tractor we had to clean a few houses! One or two Snipers were firing and sporadic  mortar and 88mm firs was coming over but there was no organised opposition. In one of the houses a member of the Volkssturm (German Home Guard) fired one or two rounds and gave himself up! ”

Summary

A very interesting little group of items, not often seen are souvenirs from the British forces! Likely with a little more research it woudl reveal a great deal more!
