Actually not my field of collection, but found the lot quite nice

Small group from Hauptmann Rudolf Neuber.
It contains :

Ausweis
POW Soldbuch

Neuber served in different flying units:
Kampfgruppe 506
5. Seenotstaffel
10. Seenotstaffel
50. Seenotstaffel
Erg. Jagdgeschwader 1

and was trained to fly:
W34 (?)
Heinkel 59
Heinkel 115
Donier 24
Junker 52

Neuber recieved 7 awards during the war:
Dienstauszeichnung 4. Kl.
Flugzeugführer Abzeichen
Erinnerungsmedaille 1.10.1938
Memelland Medaille
EK2
EK1
Frontflugspange in Gold

According to the Soldbuch, Neuber served in Denmark, Norway and List (Germany). Seems as he was was arwarded the EK1 while serving with Kampfgruppe 506 during the battle for Norway

For security reasons.

The 1944 Luftwaffeverordnungsblatt, page 462, #922 states that Feldpost numbers were no longer to be used with the Soldbuch. Some units blocked all the numbers out. You will find this from time to time in other branches as it stems from a OKW order (which I don't have). Seems like it happened depending on how local commands interpreted the oder.

Hi Ian,
Yes the Ausweis is on cloth?

[Ian Jewison]

I've seen them on oil cloth before but that looks simply like a piece of cloth!!
Is it stiff or just flimsy cloth?
