Hello collectors,
I have a WP from a guy served in the SS Totenkopf division.
the wehrpass itself has been discussed here but i can not get the link in it??
Anyway, i have a few questions on "how to read a WP" and it might sound stupid but the German hand writing.........in combination with specific "Army slang"........
Ok, my questions:
1)Can someone "read" the signature of the Major (Sturmbahnfuhrer)? Am i correct by saying the stamp says J.U. (then signature) Major? What means J.U.?
2) What means "stammrollen" and what was the function?
3) can someone tell me a bit more about the units he served? I know the 1st one was 8th Kleines Kraftwagen Kolonne, but then i can see" 4th K. Kp." what does that mean?
Apparently Berlin got bombed as the last unit was not filled in
4) FYI the feldpostnummer has been identified 29242 and this seems to be correct according to stempelbank
5) what kind of wound did he got?
6) picture has been taken out (unfortunately!) and it is not possible to get more info from the guy. If there is someone on this forum living in Karinthien send me a PM
May i thank everybody already for his / her contribution?
Cheers
