Soldbuch to Jäger Gerhard Held. First issue from March 1945. The then only 16 year old Held was a real "last ditch" Fallschirmjäger and child soldier, who joined the new Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 61 on April 2nd, 1945. This regiment was formed in north Holland by mostly the old Fallschirmjäger-Regiment Schaller, reinforced by new recruits, and was supposed to become part of the new 21. Fallschirm-Division. The formation of this divison was never completed; instead the regiment fought with the 8. Fallschirm-Division during the last battles in the Weser and Ems area, where it surrendered to the Western Allies. Held survived these last actions and was processed as a POW in Holland, though he may have been wounded, as he stayed in hospitals in Amsterdam and Varel.
Although very late war, the Soldbuch has a few very interesting entries: a written confirmation of his oath swearing on Grossadmiral Dönitz after Hitler's death, a seizure of 50 Dutch gulden in Bloemendaal, Holland, stamped by the Luftwaffen-Lazarett Amsterdam, and a hospital stay in the Marinelazarett in Varel.
The Soldbuch is in excellent and complete condition. A portrait photo was never inserted. It comes with an extra permission document to leave his POW quarters.
