Hello I traded for this soldbuch, because of the picture. It looks to have been issued a few month before the end of the war and doesn't have very many entries. It's a volksstrum soldbbuch but the photo is of a member of the Handschar division. Would wounded members of Handschar be put into the Volkstrum? If a man lost his soldbuch would they have just used what they had? Is the book even original? Thanks for any info. KIrby

I am afraid that the Soldbuch is definitely, 100 percent certainly not original. "Korporal?" There should not be a date before the rank at the top of the page, the blood group entry should be a single letter, the gas mask size must be 1, 2, or 3 and not 57, the Wehrnummer is the wrong format... I could go on, that is just the first page!

I think the picture may be humped up....why is a handschar guy wearing a Russian Front ribbon? German Officer Cadre I could see...but the low rank?
And why does it look like the guy that took the picture of the guy was sitting down and the guy was standing up, and the long hair style....I am not saying for sure the picture is modern, but I would have some doubts....
