Giday Ian,

How are you? I hope that you are well.

Thanks Ian for sharing your Ausweis with us. I too have an Ausweis which belonged to a member of the same unit, which I believe was Fsch. M.G. Btl. der 7 Flieger Korps.

My Ausweis belonged to Gefreiter Walter Bolhe, (surname is only a guess as it is difficult to read).

The Ausweis was issued in Gardelegen and is dated 19 March, 1940. The Ausweis is numbered 71 and only the first two boxes for 1940 have been filled in. Perhaps Bolhe was killed during the invasion of Holland in May 1940. Is there some way I can confirm this?

The Ausweis was signed by the same person who signed Ian's Ausweis, who at the time held the rank of Hauptman. The signature I believe is that of Erich Schulz.

As the commander of a unit, I would expect that he would receive Ausweis No. 1.

Given the date of issue of Ian's Ausweis, I assume that this is a replacement for an earlier Ausweis and that the serial number accorded same has been retained.

Does anyone know what date Hauptmann Erich Schulz was promoted to Major?

Ian, I don't have the ability to post a picture of my Ausweis on the Forum. However, if you would like to see a copy of my Ausweis, would you please provide me with details of your postal address.

Best wishes,

Ian Tannahill
