Family purchased uniform grouping to an Oberstleutnant. According to our consigner, the son did not sell any documents or photos and does not want to publish the name of his father. However he was kind enough to provide some details in German language (scroll down). In short, he was born in 1907 and was either killed in action or committed suicide on 19.4.1945. He served with Gren.Rgt.524 and 976 (earlier Inf.Rgt.425 and 976) and was awarded the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class, the German Cross in gold (no proof), the Close Combat Clasp in bronze and several other awards (see list below).
