I see he was trained (erlernter) as a fitter, locksmith, metalworker (Schlosser); I can't read what his Beruf (profession) is.

Very interesting book, and great research as always!

Nice one !
Interesting to see that he was first in Bodenpersonal before to be transfered to army. When he was in Lw, he was in north of France (see p. 32 : Einsatz in Nordfrankreich) : it explains the stamp of Luftgaupostamt Brussel who controled all Lw units of northern France and Belgium (between the Seine and the Rhine).

Thanks for info!

despite this soldier is not arrived in Rimini, this wehrpass has always survived in my collection because it is cnnected, for the a place and for the period, to this wehrpass of the 92 ID, which is one of my first (in 2009) that I posted here but the pictures are disappeared ( in all these years I've learned to upload photos from the forum server !!!)

Alois Ettl Aaready soldier in the Austrian Bundeswehr before the annexation (I enclose this really interesting discussion about the uniform photo in his wehrpass)
