Wehrpass Gren. Ers. Btl. 466 (part of the 257 inf div)

[sbas]

I recently bought this Wehrpass. Whats interesting is that this man was trained on the PAK 3.7cm and that he was from Berlin.

Pages as seen from front to back of the book.










Can someone help me translate the written text on the 4 pictures underneath? Im trying to find out whats mentioned here.

Its not easy to read that page, you should post it in the "Translation needed" sticky of the Photo/paper forum.

The soldier never was in the 257 Inf. Div.
He only was in Ersatz (training) units.
His last unit was a Marsch kompanie, but he did not arrive at a combat unit.

I hope you didn´t pay too much for it?

Nope it was cheap! Thats why I bought it, as Im not a collector of these things so its for sale but I wanted to know whats mentioned in it.

Page 26 details all those things that are wrong with him according to a medical examination on 30.1.1943.

Underneath that he was discharged on 12.8.1943 according to orders dated 5.8.1943 as fit for active duty but unfit for tropical duty.
