Auschwitz WP on E-Stand

[Gary T]

Does anyone else have issues with this wehrpass on E-Stand?

Bad Points

• SS T-Sturmbann stamps are poor quality - letters not straight
• some of the date stamps appear to have been stamped one number and one letter at a time
• went straight to unit - no training or admin units
• handwriting and signatures in the from page 11 onwards distinctly odd
• got promoted to Sturmann on first day with unit - Rommel would have been proud of that meteoric career rise
• promotion entry signed by an Oberscharführer (possible but would expect an officer) whose signature doesn't appear to match any names in lists of that rank who served at Auschwitz...SS-Oberscharführer Maximilian Grabner seems to be the closest
  
• when did Auschwitz become part of the Waffen-SS as per the stamp?
• Hofman doesn't appear on any lists of personnel known to serve at Auschwitz...there was a Hans Hofman but he was a Rottenführer
• the price...if this was an original Auschwitz piece it certainly wouldn't be $575 especially given the seller knows the market very well

None of the above alone would condemn this piece but all together it doesn't look good.

Good Points

• the photo looks to be original

Cheers,
Gary.
