Dug out in Kurland
Dug out next to a bunker on positions of 290. Infanterie Division, 18. Armee, found without soldier. Great item, will look great in any WW2 collection. Found in a bunker townnear Skrundawhere Germans were spending last night before goingto Soviet POW camps in May of 1945. Soldiers were destroying equipment and getting rid of all unnecessary items before surrendering. I suppose that it was taken from home by a young soldier who before being drafted was in HJ, before surrendering got rid of it not to be seen as some fanatic.Left as found.Scroll down to see better photos.
Like the previous days the major attack on 23 December took place south of Frauenburg where the 4th Assault Army with 119, 360, 357, 378, 145, 239, 306, 164 and 158 Rifle Divisions stormed against the HKL of 18th Army on both sides of Pampali. The frontline defended by 16th Army was attacked by the 10 Guard Army with 56, 65, 53, 85, 30, 29, 119 Rifle divisions and 7 Guard division and the 42 Army with 2, 268, 256 and 48 Rifle Divisions. The German soldiers defended themselves fuious against this numerical much stronger enemy and was able to hold their lines. The 205 Infantrie-Division repulsed the attack of three Rifle Divisions. The 16th Army along with the 18th Army was cut off in the Courland Peninsula when the Soviets launched their summer and autumn offensives of 1944. It stayed trapped there until the end of the war. After the war, 250,000 German troops trapped in the Courland Pocket were marched into captivity, many were never heard from again.
