Wehrpass Award Entries

[Ian Thomson]

This topic has been raised on the forum before, but after receiving this wehrpass I thought I`d show the awards page and raise the topic again. The clerk writing up the awards in the wehrpass should use a different line for each award, it didn`t happen all the time, lazy clerks couldn`t be bothered to turn to another page to write in the new award if there wasn`t enough room, he would just cram it in where he could. This brings me to my wehrpass, it was sold to me with the Ostmedaille having been awarded amongst other awards, so on receiving the wehrpass and browsing through I couldn`t find the entry for that award. On closer examination I found it crammed in, on the bottom right of the awards page. If this had been a slightly more unusual award, one which would have added value to the wehrpass would you have accepted this kind of entry as being period or would you have thought someone had been tampering with it, and adding awards, to add value to the book?

Lacks a date, but looks okay.

I see know problems.....yes rules are made and rules are broken!!!!

Adding an Ostmedaille is not going to add any value to a book.....I have seen this when a clerk from another unit actually enters the award on another page also!?
