Another excellent Soldbuch issued to Unteroffizier Walter MAUTER. Contains a very nice ID photo of him wearing Feldgrau Sturmgeschütz tunic. He served in Heeres Panzerjäger-Abteilung 731. The Jagdpanzer 38 first entered service with the Heeres Panzerjäger-Abteilung 731 in July 1944. This unit was sent to Army Group North on the Eastern Front.[14] One report from the Eastern Front described how a company of Jagdpanzer 38 destroyed 20 enemy tanks without any losses. In September 1944, the Heeres Panzerjäger Abteilung 741 (741st Army Tank Hunter Battalion) was issued with forty-five Jagdpanzer 38 tank hunters. One company was sent to the Eastern Front, but the other two were directed to the Arnhem sector in Holland.
