Me-323 Gigant Unit Soldbuch, Photo Album & Dog Tag

[hucks216]

Soldbuch, photo album and dog tag for a luftwaffe mechanic in a Me-323 Gigant unit. Served in a variety of Luftwaffe Werkstatt & Fliegerhorst Komapnie units before being assigned to 6./TG-5 which were equipped with the Me-323 Gigant at the time. He served with this unit for over a year before being assigned to 16./TG-1. While the soldbuch has 'Bord Mechaniker' written on Pg 1 if this is so then it would appear to of been a late war or an ad-hoc appointment, however there are some photos showing Tunisians so it would appear that he flew over to Africa with the Me-323's at some point, maybe as a component of an airfield unit.

Soldbuch is in a heavily used condition. While all pages are present and has the mans photo, all the pages are loose and someone has tried to repair the SB with red tape. But it certainly shows that it didn't spend its life in a desk drawer on the base.
Awarded the KvK II Kl + Schwertern, KvK I Kl, Ost Medal and EK II.

Photo album has approx 180 photos and includes 6 rare photos showing various aspects of the Me-323. Other aircraft seen include He-111, Ju-52, Do-17, Ju-88, W-34, Henschel 123 & Me-110. The last page of the album includes the mans dog tag and leather pouch. There are also 2 colour post-war photos taken in the 1970's which show an old man looking at 2 WWII German flak guns - obviously it is impossible to prove one way or the other but I wouldn't be surprised if the old man shown in the 2 photos is the Luftwaffe man whose soldbuch & album it was as he appears in both photos even though the guns seen are different. While my area is definitely not photos and photo albums I would say that this album was put together, at least partly, post-war but done so by the man himself.
