Help identifying this infantryman
I have a soldbuch that I recently purchased and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can trace back the units and places where this Obergefreiter has been. His name is Heinz Kadelka and it seems like he was an artillery man. What do you guys think? Any help or info on where his unit was stationed would be great. Thanks

The division is disbanded. Stab to new forming 41.Festg.Div. in Bruck a.d.Mur, rest of Gren.Rgt.113 and 114 as "Div.Gru.39" to 106.Inf.Div. which is destroyed in the area Jassy in August 1944.
