Greetings I wanted to share these with the fellow collectors here. These 2 Wehrpass were brought back by CPL Donald Peabody, 465 MED COLL CO and they are interesting as they are both from Soldiers of the 353ID that was destroyed in Normandy.

You have to wonder why CPL Peabody selected these two documents to bring back? It is fun to find GI bring back Wehrpasses because they often come from the same unit and they lack the data as to what happened to the soldier. I do not know if these two Soldiers survived the French collapse or are buried somewhere in France?Attached Files

I would imagine that all of the Wehrpass for the 353rd Division was held by the G1 or Personnel Section in one location. When the Division collapsed these were simply abandoned and were later found by souvenir seekers. In the chaos of the Falaise Gap Battle there had to be thousands of these laying around.
