Very nice!!
The fella was born in Sudtirol, Muhlen am Taufers (Brixen), and resident in Linz (very likely an "Optanten" for the Reich in 1939).

Yes, you are right. Linz was his home adress.
He was born in " Südtirol " .

I'm surprised that it took so long until you finds out that there is a " Killer - Paß "

Do not be angry. It was a joke.

I saw the Dienstpass that is the subject matter of this thread on the dealer site and upon doing a Google search for Unternehmen "Frühlingsfest" I found this thread.
I was pretty tempted but managed to talk myself out of buying it. And then just for something to do to pass a couple of minutes I thought I'd have a look through the scans of the Polizei Dienstpass/Soldbucher already in my collection to see if I had any for the same unit and found that I had this - notice the mans name!

Needless to say I couldn't resist the Dienstpass any longer.

[PBR]

You should definitely put that lot back togheter.
Soldbuch and Dienstpass, lovely!

[Eric JB]

Congratulations Kevin !

So the two Tasser booklets are re-united again, together as they once were during the war, great.

That´s really a great coincidence!!
Could you show some more pictures of the Soldbuch?

[hucks216]

Here are a handful of scans from the soldbuch - and the Dienstpass is now on its way to me...
