Hello Gerdan and all who helped me with this Wehrpass. I found this letter to Kurt Gohler father of Walter Gohler, my question is this letter telling his father that his son has been killed and they are returning his Wehrpass back to the family, also included are Kurt Gohlers Wehrpass. Thanks so much if you can tell me what this letter says. Ralph
