          Thanks for all the complements, guys. A Soldbuch to a SS Tiger II crew member who served in this unit, not to mention having his Führerschein with the entry on it qualifying him to drive Tiger IIs, was a major score for me.

          Glad you all enjoyed the scans. And Christof, knowing the extent - and quality - of your collection, a complement like that coming from you is a true complement indeed! Thanks

                      SS Fuehrerschein

                      Rob,

                      What a nice set of documents and associated research! Collectors like you bring life to the items. I try to do the same. Since I recently retired and have more time to spend on the web, I recently joined the forum and am exploring.

                      The Waffen-SS included documents in personnel files to support issuance of driver's licenses. I have an interesting such document signed by SS-Oberscharfuehrer (officer candidate) Otto Skorzeny, who, at the time, was motor officer for an SS Germania Regiment artillery battalion. With the armistice in France, the unit had paused in Amersfoort, Holland in mid-1940 and was using that time to, among other things, qualify vehicle drivers. Otto had previously qualified as a driving instructor. The document indicates the various tests that were passed. I appreciate the photo of the license that was carried. As an engineer, he was also in charge of designing ramps for loading vehicles onto barges in preparation of Operation Sea Lion. When that operation was cancelled, his unit left as part of the Das Reich Division and was later deployed to the Balkans. You know much of "the rest of the story!"

                      I also have the SS contract for the SS-mann signed by Sepp Dietrich. He was initially assigned to the LSSAH. These came from the SS-mann's personnel file. A number of files from this unit were found several years ago in CZ.

                      Sorry, no photos right now. EBJ
