14. Kompanie of Grenadier Regiment 12. After restructuring it was the "Sturmkompanie" of the 12th Grenadier Regiment. 31. Infanterie-Division (later 31. Volksgrenadier-Division).

Glad your grandfather made it out from Siberia in one piece.

Slargos

An 18th century naval infantry sabre that was supposedly used at the battle of Svensksund.

While the make is a relative certainty, the story of its use may be true or false. Still, it's a good story.  :cool:
