Thanks!
I´m asking because with the soldbuch this document came, and i´m trying to understand why.

It looks like he was noted into a register for special professions?
Any help is welcome!

As a specialist in glassgrinding he had a profession which was very important during the war because one has to manufacture a lot of optical instruments used by the Air Force, Navy and Army.

So he was listed as a "Rüstungsfacharbeiter" (skilled worker in glassgrinding).

Ahh, thanks!
However, he was never called up to do his glasscutter job.
He stayed with Grenadier-Regiment 305 throughout the war.
