Hello: The typewritten document at the top is a casualty report. It says:

Reserve Hospital Apolda, 3 September 1943

Obergefreite Albert Kögler was wounded in Russia on 13 July 1943. His injury was a penetrating shrapnel wound to the left hand, causing fractures of the proximal phalanges, 3rd and 4th fingers, without severe dislocation. Hospital release in 2-3 weeks followed by 4-6 months classified as garrison service in the homeland.

PS - I had to look up G. v. H. in Kriegsprache, by our own Tom Houlihan.

Document #2 looks to be a preliminary approval of an application from the architectural institute in Wuppertal. It's from the director of studies and says that documents that Kögler submitted met the entrance requirements for the school. It's asking him to submit documents attesting to his (1) health and (2) proof of his racial purity.

The last paragraph says he needs to produce birth- and marriage certificates for his parents and grandparents. If he doesn't have these documents, he is to provide proof of ancestry.

And to add something too: the last one is a map of which schoolbuildings were used by the 3. Ausb. u. Gren. Ersatz btl 306, or, in English, the 3rd training Grenadier batallion. This was a unit atteched to the 211. Infanterie Division. This batallion was in Venlo from 17 - 7 - 1943 till september 1944. After this period it was used as a Walküreeinheit and send towards the front.

Document #3 looks to be a form authorizing Kögler to take part in a selection test at the Architectural school on 14 April 1943. He is supposed to punctually arrive at the school's business office at 8 am and bring along 10 Reichmarks for the exam fee and an additional 3.20 Reichmarks for the form to substantiate his ancestry if he hasn't already submitted this fee. The fees will be collected prior to the exam.

The area in the middle where you see handwriting says that he still needs to submit his proof of ancestry (Ahnenpaß)

He's to bring along several sheets of graphing paper, writing instruments, and a plotter. Exam results will be published the following day.

The last paragraph says that if he cannot attend the exam, he should contact the school beforehand. Otherwise, he is still liable for the fees if he doesn't appear.

At the bottom of this document is Kögler's name, and the Feldpostnummer 29182D. Maybe someone can identify this unit based on the date of the document, 22 March 1943.

Hi All, thanks for the help with documents, glad to see they are of interest as well.

I suspect this is proof of race



Haven't got a clue about these two, term dates?





Is this a list of Uniform / Tornistor contents?



Cheers Jeremy

Please apologize my english . . .

The blue one is a genealogical ancestor chart for students.

Then there is a certificate from the director of his Architectural school that he registered for study.

Kögler asked for leave to go study but the physician writes that only the soldiers with a injury-classification II to IV can have a leave to go study.

Last one is a list of his military uniform and Private belongings.

The name Kögler is not that common en there are still live a few in Düsseldorf.

p.s. Is it possible for you to mail me a full scan of the barracks in Blerick, maybe you have more regarding Venlo/blerick? (I'm familiar with that area)
