    No stamps on WP photo Ok?

    The Wehrpass photo has no stamps that are usually present, is this ok?
    Thank you for your feedback.

    Possibly; but without any other identified photos of him, you (or at least I) can't be 100% sure it's him.

      Hank is correct but many SS WP's do not have a stamp on promotions, awards and occasionally photos.

      It seems to me that SS men who joined from foreign countries have WP's missing the stamps on the photo and other data not entered.

      Show more pics of the wehrpass, it might help.

                Normally Wehrpass were to be issued by the Wehrbezirk, Wehrkommando, or Wehrmeldeamt. Foreigners were not in the Wehruberwachung and therefore were not tracked by the German military and a Wehrpass was not to be issued. However, the SS was given permission to issue Wehrpass to their foreign recruits and then the Wehrpass was to be sent to one of their Ergänzungsstelle, which in turn was sent to the appropriate Wehrkommando to be validated (the picture stamped if not done) and then returned to the unit. This was not apparently not done in this case. Looking at the conflicting regulations, it can be easily understood why this may have happened.
