SS soldbuch totenkopf

[Giel VW]

This soldbuch has been offered to me, see the below pictures. The only thing I regret is that there isn't a picture of the person inside. Another thing that I would like to ask is, is it normal that there isn't any section with his awards? There are a few documenr that are also with it. The man was 39 years old. I haven't got any more pictures . And final, what would you give for such an ss soldbuch that related to totenkopf...

The pages of the soldbuch are complete. The photo can't taken out because there would be scares of it, the page of the picture is totally clean...

Hi
As far as I remember the early SS Solddbuch's dosn't have a Awardpage.
Unless the cover has been changed, this book never had a photo.
As far as I can see, this early Soldbuch must have been replaced later during the war, as the papers mention that he is still in service in 1944. According to the first page, his last promotion was in 1944. I would exspect that a soldier, who from 1940 to 1944 would have made it to Unterscharführer. Thats why I guess this book would have a Zweitschrift somewhere.

And if you have to put a price on it... how much would that be?

Looking at the Soldbuch it was in used from 1939 until 1941...never had a photo as they were not introduced until the earliest mid 1943.....no awards mentioned as he probably did not have any at that time.

Award pages were occasionally glued in, if not they were written to page 22, or last page before the leave page (dependant on page numbering!).

The documents for 1944 look to me as if he has been called up again.....clearly the Soldbuch was his first issued and perhaps was never used again!
Or he had a replacement in 1941 which had all his new info and then this one became redundent.

Unfortunately not so exciting as the most of his 1941-44 service is missing if he was still in the Waffen SS that is!?! Or as mentioned he was discharged 1941 and recalled 1944!

The papers from 1944 clearly transfer him to 22. SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Division which consited of:

SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Regiment 52
SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Regiment 53
SS-Freiwilligen-Kavallerie-Regiment 17
SS-Artillerie-Regiment 22
Division units 22.

1944-45 fighing in Hungary.

He did not survive the war:
