    Isnt it because photos were only introduced in 1944?

      yes, it is just because of the time that photos were introduced in soldbuchs.
      Most of the soldiers sent to Afrika were issued solduchs before photos were widely introduced.
      More of the Tunisia soldbuchs have photos than the Libya ones.

        Well actually the order went out in 1943 to insert a photo in the Soldbuch.

        The earliest I have in my collection is 6.10.1943 for the insertion of a photo, however most were actually introduced Spring/Summer of 1944.

        I have seen a DAK Soldbuch with a photo which I think was added during his PoW captivity, however the photo is in DAK uniform and overstamped in the Soldbuch! On a down side we could not determine the FP Nr. that was in the authorsing stamp to verify which unit it was!!!

        Below is an original order for the insertion of the photo.

                  Ian, Great document you sent !

                  I think I would be more happier to find such a note rather to add another Soldbuch in my colection. Best is to find them together.. I guess..
