Luftwaffe replacement soldbuch

[bsmith56]

Here is a nice little replacement book I picked up. It's hardly a soldbuch, seeing as its only 4 pages and very minimal on info. Very late war, probably used after the war as well.

Issued to Feldwebel Rudolf Herrling born October 19, 1918 in Grafenwöhr.

The picture of was clearly taken from his original soldbuch and shows him as an Unteroffizier.

All his awards were crossed out very thoroughly, but I spent a good amount of time looking at them in good light with a magnifying glass and I have finally figured out each one!

-EK II KL. EK I KL.
-"Ärmelband Kreta"
-Beobachterabzeichen
-Frontflugspange in Bronze für Trspflg.
- " " Gold " " (Frontflugspange in Gold für Trspflg)

I think it is interesting that he went from bronze to gold.

I posted a close up of the awards as well... I don't think the awards are dubious, but some other opinions would be nice!

Here is the last page with writing.

Hi Brandon, I have seen other 2 "Soldbucher" done in this way with normal paper. All were replacement SB done after the war and used for a small period of time between '45 and '47.
Denazified stamps are obviously the indicators of the post-war use.

Very interesting all the awards listed, you've done a great work of reading!
