#1 is eingeburgerte Volksdeutscher aus Ungarn.
Roughly, it means he received citizenship as being of German descent, from Hungary.
#2, line 3: birthday, 11 April 1911; line 5 - citizenship: German (edit: had wrong year)
Post 3: Romanian
Post 4: Dietrich, but is it THE Dietrich? Dunno.
Post 5: begleit is to accompany. Not sure how that translates for a unit.
Post 6: Duty guarding the French coast, near the English channel
best

Harry,
How many type of stamps are their used in this wp please?
The name that signed of on page 5 must be researchable.
Just my advice: Always approach late war examples with care.
Happy research time Harry and thanks again for posting your wp so that we all can learn more about late war wp examples.
Can we perhaps see more scans?
greetings,

Frundsberg WP
Peter, The Round Official stamp used on the photo has a -2- under the eagle. The stamp on page 6 has a -1- under the eagle. So that would be two different stamps. Thank you for your help! Regards, Harry CComment

Hello Harry,
At first sight it looks like it is what it is pretending to be:
A late war example, but it is sure a good point that you have atleast two different stamps in it and a uniform picture.
Why are their no entries after early 1944?
Perhaps it got lost in the Normandy invasion?
It was just lost anyway at some time?
Many questions but this is what the hobby is about: Research!
About this division it should not be that difficult. Their are many books about the history of the Frundsberg division.
And this wp needs a lot of it.
Have fun while doing, and happy hunting!
cheers,
PeterComment

I was just looking over scan 4 with the SS Hauptstrumfuhrer u BTL Fuhrer stamping. I do not collect Waffen SS passbooks so I cannot say for sure one way or the other, but does the SS part of the stamp look weird? I have not seen one like that before.

Post 4 appears to have the signature of SS Hauptsturmführer Karl Dietrich, he was the Kdr. of the Feldersatz Btl. 10 "Frundsberg" until June 1944, then again as SS Sturmbannführer from February 1945.
