Hi All,
The following scans show an early SS Soldbuch(Army Version). This came complete with the Soldiers file. The interesting points to this are the Stamping of Waffen SS on the front cover. The Soldier lists his occupation as 'Soldat'. A nice Uniform Photo with headgear. This soldier Bernhard Korte served in the Pre war SS VT earning the Sudetenland Medal, Anschluss Medal. He fought in Poland, France and the first Russian winter with SS Regt Germania, when he was casevaced with Frost bite in both feet. Then Served in Inf Ers Btl 'Ost'(If anyone can furnish more details on this unit I would be grateful). Mobilised again in 1944 he won an EKII and Inf Assault Badge in Silver. Finished the war as a Hauptscharfuhrer in SS Wach Battalion Prag.
Cheers
Mark
