Adolf Meudt

Adolf Meudt was born on 21 July 1909 in the coastal city Wismar.
He got this führerschein in his trainings unit, Panzer-Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon 5. He was an
Obergefreiter and 25 years old at that time. This training unit just came out of the battles of the
Warschau uprising. If Adolf Meudt participated in those battles is unknown to me.
I don´t know since when Adolf was in this trainings unit. But there is a big chance he did participate.
what i do know is that Adolf was in the 2. Kompanie, thats the Ausbildungs Kompanie für motorisiert
Pionier Züge (trainings kompanie for a motorized engineer platoon in a Panzergrenadier unit).

This Wehrmacht-führerschein was issued on 20 Oktober 1944.
It was issued for verbrennungsmachine klasse II, which is for normal and bigger trucks.
On the same date, Adolf also completed a vehicle generator course, which got written on the back.
There is no picture in this führerschein, which happend often later in the war. But normaly the
commander would write something near the empty space for the photo with a security stamp to clarify
that it has no picture but is still militairy legal. Strangely that hasn´t been done with this führerschein.

Normally its hard to see where a soldier went after his time in the training unit, since they often gave
soldiers to many differend (combat) units. This trainings unit gave staff soldiers to allot of differend
staff units, but normal soldiers to only 2(!) combat units; Panzergrenadier Regiments 5 and 25.
So its almost a 100% sure chance that Adolf was in either of these 2, since Adolf was a trained engineer
and not a trained staff member. Both of these 2 units are part of the 12. Panzer-Division, so i dare to
say that Adolf was assigned to the 12. Panzer-Division. But, the 12. Panzer-Division was in Kurland.
And i don´t know if Adolf ever would have reached the Division, but it was possible ofcourse.
The Kurland army got its supplies by sea, so it would have been fairly easy to send Adolf to Kurland.
That will probably remain a mystery to me for ever. If Adolf survived the war is also unknown to me.
