I would like to share with you my newest Wehrpass. Although it's a relative simple wehrpass, it's details make it IMO a very interesting one.
From the 5th of august 1942 he served in the 3./Pj. Grenn. Rgt. 21.
Do I read that correct?
Although he received the Panzer-Kampfabzeichen, I assume it's not a panzer crew member. This is because there are no entrees of training on panzers. On page 20 one can see that he has been trained on Gewehr 98, L.M.G. (Leichtes Machinengewehr), O8, MG34, S.Gr.W.34 (schwere Granat Werfer 34?), Machinenpistole. IMO he must been a panzerjager.
Then I have another question. On page 32 it is written with a pencil: EINSATZ IN RUSSLAND. I know that there were several occasions were Wehrpass entrees were written with a pencil. I assume this has been done, so that in a later time, this could be replaced by an supplementary sheet. Am I correct in this?
