Description
Waffen-SS Soldbuch to SS-Obersturmführer Richard Gallion. Issued on 10.10.1944 by "Höherer SS- u.Pol.-Führer Schwarzes Meer". 
 
Serving with 25.Waffen-Gren.Div."Hunyadi". Awarded the War Merit Cross 2nd Class with swords (20.4.44), the Anti Partisan Badge in bronze (1.6.1944) and the Ostvolk Decoration on 15.8.1944.
 
Numbered "197 / 6.SS.T.Std."
 
Soldbuch in good condition. Many entires.
 
The photograph does not seem to be the first one applied. If you look at the stamp it is not 100% matching. However, the rank is right and he might just swapped it for more newer one. You never know what happened in 1944/45. Medals and rank is right. He is not wearing a Anti Partisan Badge on the photo.
 
Postwar documents where he asked to return his Soldbuch in 1948.
 
Very rare!
