Document grouping: 2X Wehrpass, 3X Soldbuch, all to one KIA soldier

[JUNGCO]

Interesting set. The demotion and transfer to the Army would explain some of the ID's but its still unusual.

What is nice with the Army Soldbuch, yes he has been demoted but as you say they used a photo from 1941, as a Gefreiter and scribbled out one gull to make him a Flieger

Quite unique I guess. I have something similar but forget what is with it now.....2 x Soldbuch (1 Lw 1 Heer), 1 x Wehrpass and a Wehrstammbuch I think...

Why issue a new Soldbuch and Wehrpass on demotion though? I thought this was only done if you were an Officer?

This set is really interesting and very unusual Chris!I wouldnt mind seeing some more scans of all 5 the booklets especially the first soldbuch and wehrpass!Congrats on getting something rare like this!

That is a rare grouping of booklet all to one man.

Seems to me that the man was already a "Wehrpaß - Soldbuch collector himself ........"

Thanks for showing.

Very nice grouping you have there!!

Nothing near what you have, but still sort of the same thing.
These two belonged to a KIA gebirgsjäger:

Daniele here are a few more scans of the first Soldbuch. I'm going to offer this grouping on the E-Stand but wanted to post the scans here where they will remain. Here is a hospitalization entry for ear problems, also some equipment issues, there is no room for any more.

[CWP]

Some pay issues, and leave. He got leave for Genesungsurlaub, Erholungsurlaub, also Landwirtschaftshilfe.

[CWP]

More leaves, including Kurzurlaub. There are a couple of Merkblaetter in the back, the top one deals with frostbite and cold.

This one was carried for a shorter time and has fewer entries.

Hello,
I am only interessted in companies of the Ln. Vers(uchs).R(e)g(imen)t like V/Ln. Vers. Rgt. (mot).
Iknow 5. Zug for companies 18 an 19. My father belonged tio the 23. Kompanie/ 7. Zug
but this makes only sence if 6. Zug includes 20.,21. and 22. companies.
I try to solve this at mititay archiv e in Freiburg Germany.
Kind regard, Harri
