Replacement Wehrpass Help

[Lt. Martin]

I saw this on a website. (these are quotes from the description):

"Dated 24/06/1944(replacement issue)." ( the wehrpass)

"30/04/1944 Karl was KIA during the preliminary attacks on the German line by the Red Army. Karl fell 18 Km southeast of Sevastopol."


The question I have is, why was there a replacement Wehrpass for a man who already died? Is this possible?

Many Thanks, Swayne

Replacement Wehrpass Help

Hello,

I have a zweischrift (2nd issue) DAK WP which was period created to send to the family after the soldier fell. Not uncommon and worth considerably less than the "original".

Is that Karl Junker?

As the above poster mentions second issue, next-of-kin issue WP should not be anywhere near the same price as an original. Most dealers don't take this into account - that particular WP (if it's the one I think it is) is being sold at 3x times more than what I sold it for.

This is Karl Junker.

Is is a little random, Are panzergrenadier wehrpasses worth more (generally) than a regular infantry man?
