Five Feldposter letters from May 1944. The Feldpostnummer stands for: Stab III./Grenadier-Regiment 1058. The regiment was destroyed in Cherbourg, Normandy in June 1944 during the invasion of France. All are easy to read and a great document of the time shortly before D-Day.
Soldbuch issued by Inf.Rgt.487 on 30.9.1942. Many entries including a list of three awards. Good condition.
1936 issued Wehrpaß providing an original photograph of Wilke. A long list of all units he served with. The Wehrpaß tells us that he was not also awarded the Close Combat Clasp in bronze. This was not noted in his Soldbuch. There is also a long list with all campaign he was part of from 7.9.1939 until 5.9.1943.
