Looks like the clerk died protecting his file box! The WP is splattered with either jam or blood. Let's hope jam!

Hello Robert,
I'am very sure of my theorie that when the division was transfered from Easternfront to the West, that he was left behind in a reserve unit to recuperate from his wound sustained on the Easternfront.
What happend with him after he was declared fit to serve, I don't know.
But it is a nice ss panzer division wp from a ss officer.
Most likely he recieved more awards then just the wounded bagde in black also.
But the wp was war booty so w'll most likely never know.
Cheers,
PeterLast edited by peter u; 05-23-2007, 12:29 PM.

From reports of service I have the following:
Otto Morgenstern, born 5.12.1921 in Görkau.
January 1945 as a SS Obersturmführer with SS Panzer Grenadier Schule.
April 1945 killed whilst serving with SS Panzer Aufklärungs Abteilung 10 "Frundsberg".
He is not however listed on the German War Graves site.

Originally posted by Ian Jewison View PostI very much doubt it, I would imagine that this was never updated....this was common for that time of the war.....however with that said, some clerks made sure everything was in order right until the end of the war!!!

Originally posted by RobertE View PostI would definately thought there would be - almost two years without a Wehrpass for an officer (or any soldier) seems excessive. Still - guess we won't now in this lifetime.
Anyway, when leaving his unit, the Wehrpa******223; should have been sent to his Ersatz Bataillon/Abteilung. As according to page 12 he is not officially listed as leaving SS Pz.Aufkl.Abt. 10 until 22.6.1944, chances are it was never sent before that date......however, there also is no indication that he was sent to an Ersatz Bataillon or Reserve Lazarett because of any wound!
The time the Ersatz Bataillon received it and sent it to his next unit, it is not suprising that it was never filled in....I have many examples of that in my collection.
But you can not rule out there is not a replacement.....just bear in mind what was happening at the time.
