Schlachterei KP 389

Post by panzergrenadier1944 »

I have an award document for a relative and and it says that he was inthe schlachterei kp 389. What is this? It is signed by the general major and divisions commander Kruse? There is a stamp with an eagle and I can only make out the number 389. Any help would be much appreciated.

regards, Max

It's the butcher company - supplying fresh meat to the troops.

And it belonged to the 389 Infanterie Division

The signature is that of Generalleutnant Kurt Kruse

Is the award a War Merit Cross second class with swords and is it dated 30 January 44 by any chance?
