A Group of Medical Records for Hospitalized Soldier; 829th Home Guard Battalion

Collection of medical check-up papers for soldier Michael Kraus, mostly ca. 21 x 15 cm. Date of item: 1940-44. Condition: very good, signs of aging.

A collection of medical check-up papers for German soldier Michael Kraus, born Jan 29th, 1916. Regensburg: In Apr 1940 the troop doctor of the 2nd battalion of infantry regiment 20 detects, among other things, kidney stones. Kraus is deemed g.v.(H.), Garnisonsverwendungsfähig Heimat: garrison employable home. Aug 1940: Kraus has been admitted to the Reserve Sickbay II. b for problems with his kidneys, including kidney stones. His rank is Schütze, rifleman.

In Jan 1942 Kraus is back in the hospital because of kidney stones. After he has been treated, the verdict is W.D.B. = Wehrdienstbeschädigung (military service injury). This will likely enable Kraus to get disability benefits.

In Feb 1942 he is examined again. The card includes an x-ray of his chest. He is deemed healthy.

Marienbad: In Dec 1942 he is treated in the Reserve Sickbay IV. Marienbad (modern day Czech Republic). His rank is now Obergefreiter, senior lance-corporal. His Feldpost (field mail) number is 28874. Again he suffers from kidney stones and is given 14 days of recovery holidays as well as 2 days of travel. Once more he is deemed g.v.H.

Regensburg: The next entry is from Apr 1944. Kraus is still a senior lance-corporal, and serves in the 3rd Company of the Landes-Schützen-Bataillon 829 (Homeland Riflemen Battalion). Once more he suffers from kidney stones. In May of 1944, because of this, he gets another 14 days of recovery holidays. The W.D.B. has been revoked, because he is physically predisposed to the condition. Apparently he has had these problems since 1935, on and off, and they don’t expect it to ever completely go away. He is deemed a.v. = arbeitsverwendungsfähig, work employable, and his captain wants the doctor to evaluate if he can work on guard duty. A doctor Wiesbauer says that he cannot.

In June 1944 Kraus is looked at in the Reserve Sickbay III. He asked for his left kidney to be surgically removed, but the doctor strongly recommends against it. Instead, one to two “subaquale Darmbäder” per month are recommended as treatment, which are a series of enemas with warm water. In Oct 1944 Kraus is back in the hospital, and in Nov he is transferred to another sickbay in Bamberg.

Bamberg: This time he is suffering from gonorrhea. After successful treatment he is deemed dfg.k.v. = dienstfähig kriegsverwendungsfähig, employable for service and war. In Dec 1944 however, his doctor revokes this and deems him only a.v.
