Very nice document, Jim, and not something often found with replacement IDs. These are the types of additional documents I like to find tucked away in the back cover of Soldbücher; they tell you so much more about the man, the Soldbuch, its history, etc.Originally posted by PzV View Post

That has to be one of the best portrait photos I've ever seen attached inside a SS Soldbuch! Nice to see that it was issued in January 1944 - it was on him through the Normandy invasion all the way up to the end of the war.
The camo Panzer jacket entry is just
What a great Soldbuch... thanks for sharing it with us!

Agreed on the portrait Rob.
Note the Dienstmütze. He gave it a slight crusher look and then removed the leather chinstrap and sewed on a cloth eagle to give it a real veteran appearance. Classic late war look.Comment

Absolutely.
Though not at all common to find, Heer Soldbücher do sometimes turn up with the recipient wearing headgear, but to find one in an SS Soldbuch and as nice as that one is...

Oh, they're extremely hard to find, but they're out there - you just have to know where to lookOriginally posted by Edward View PostAbsolutely.

Out of all the Heer Soldbücher I have owned, just two had photos with headgear being worn, both of which have since been sold off. My good friend Henner has some absolutely magnificant Panzer/StuG Soldbücher with photos of the men wearing overseas caps, M43 field caps, etc. Perhaps Daniele can post some of those for him

Thanks Rob. Although I do not collect SS Soldbücher it would still be quite interesting to see those mentioned. Just a thought on what headgear would be found most common in SS Soldbücher would be Imo the Schiffchenform and Einheitsfeldmütze. The previously commented on Dienstmütze photo though takes it too another level. Maybe a new future thread could be started with those willing to share Soldbücher of any service showing photos of headgear in wear!Originally posted by Rob Johnson View PostOh, they're extremely hard to find, but they're out there - you just have to know where to look
