Thanks guys
Here is the wehrpass:

And i got some more luck..
The antique dealer e-mailed me, she told me she found some more stuff.
After some quick talking i was able to buy it.. but not cheap ofcourse
I bought this whole grouping in parts.. it started out cheap with the Soldbuch.. but became more expensive later on

Anyway, i was able to buy about 40 pictures (including some nice portret pictures of the guy!), some documents, a bunch of Feldpost letters, the official death notice of the guy, cut-out newspaper death notice, photos of his grave and a map full of documents about the familie history etc.
I couldn´t let it go onto Ebay.. I just have to work some extra this month.. as usual

Very nice grouping you have here. I love it when you get more then just the soldiers soldbuch.

The one grouping I bought directly form the son of the veteran started with just his soldbuch as well, but I asked if he mad more items as I really wanted to keep the grouping together and soon I had much much more. The son seemed very grateful that I wanted to keep it together too.

Impressive group, you don't see Reiter Units that much

The items i talked about have arrived!
A few photos are from his (LW) brother, but most of this Leutnant.
Some are very nice! Also 2 photos of his grave in Bosnia and the list of every item he had that was being send back to his familie (it was so much, it was send in boxes and suitcases) On the list are some of his medals, 2 pistols he had, 10 shirts.. uniforms.. lighter, 3 pocket knifes, money, photos, letters, etc. etc.
On top of this.. the antique dealer told me she found a bunch of papers of the Leutnant, which she will be sending to me for free... so the story will continue

Photo of the new additions (havn´t receved the bunch of papers yet):

It has almost been a year since i started this thread, but i wanted to share a little update.
I knew the seller had more documents of this soldier, but i wasn´t able to acquire them.
The seller just didn´t respond to me.

But suddenly today, out of nothing, i got a package in the mail from her.
It included a letter written by her and all the left over documents, about 30!
Most are written/typed by the units he was in, some medical documents and a few are made by himself.
It includes some nice info!

So now, when i find some time, i can finally fully research this grouping
