Just picked up 2 very reasonably priced wehrstammbunchs for my collection, one heer and one Kriegsmarine and could do with some help with deciphering some entries - have posted pics and any help would be much appreciated. Of note the Kriegsmarine guy (who was a professor) served on the Wilhelm Gustoff in 1940

#2 The town name Landshut followed by the date is given three times. The town name is also seen on the stamp next to each signature. Is this perhaps what looks confusingly like "Landshultz"?Comment
