Soldbuch to Unteroffizier Berthold Klug. First issue from January 1942. Klug served in a number of heavy Flak units, he was trained for tropical duty with Flak-Ausbildungs-Abteilung 9 (Trop.) and then forwarded to schwere Flak-Abteilung 243. This Abteilung was destined for Africa, but Klug ended up on Crete with the schwere Flak-Abteilung 131 positioned in the capital Iraklion. Late October 1943 he moved to the II. Abteilung of Flak-Regiment 12 (mot.), also on Kreta, where he ended the war. Notice his last-minute promotion to Unteroffizier in May 1945, confirmed by the "Flakführer Kreta". Berthold Klug was awarded the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern and the Tätigkeitsabzeichen der Flakartillerie.
The Soldbuch still has the most important pages but is not complete, missing pages 5-6, 11-14 and 17-20. It does come with pages 11-12 and 31-32 of his Wehrpass; it seems all "superfluous" pages were removed when he entered Allied captivity in 1945. The Wehrpass pages give a nice overview of his units and combat days, mentioning a total of 48 days of fighting under enemy fire on Crete.
