    Afrika Korps Ersatz Soldbuch

    I picked up this small group from a soldier who was initially in Africa and was apparently released from captivitiy to become a medic. The replacement Soldbuch was issued in November, 1943 and his dogtag was given as 9th battery Artillery Rgt. 33

          pages 8 and 8a and this is where it gets interesting due to the statement on page 8 that he was paid Reichsmark 240 for the items taken while in captivity

            pages 14 and 15 with the entry that he was capable of military service (dated 25 August, 1944) and a release from French captivity as a POW on 21 October 1945, it is also interesting to note that he belonged to the Heeres Sani Staffel Drachenbronn (Alsace)

                interesting note on page 20 that he was paid the "Afrikazulage" on 11 January, 1944 for the period 28 January through 6 May, 1943.
