My new Luftwaffe Soldbuch

[German_military]

Hello,
I bought this Luftwaffe Soldbuch. Is the number under the photo a POW number , or... I've never seen it.

The text at the first page (photo 2) is also my favorite detail.
Thanks,
Frank

That appears to be the name and serial number of I believe an American Army officer....the person that picked this up during the war or maybe his capturing/interrogating officer!!?

I have similar with the officers name and a few lines of text saying, screened, passed, failed etc.

Hello,
Here are 2 more photo's. My camera has to be recharged, so I can't take more at the moment.


I'm not sure what these markings mean.

What's the tauchlichkeitsgrad??

Thanks,
Frank

Thanks for the new pics. I am sorry, but I can't explain the tauglichkeitgrad, in english. Mine is too bad.

Tauglichkeitsgrad means fitness grade/check up in physical fitness....he was KV - Kriegsverwendungsf******228;hig or fit for active duty.
4.10.1943 he was gvh - Garnisonverwendungsf******228;hig in der Heimat or fit for garrison duty in the homeland only.
On another date he is AV - Arbeitverwendungsf******228;hig or fit for labour work only....basically unfit!
