With My Luftwaffe Soldbuch

[Lt. Martin]

I bought this soldbuch a little while ago. I do not speak German, so I have almost no idea what many of the terms in this book are. This book interested me because of all of the units he was in, and he was issued a Belgian pistol.

The seller told me that this was the second one given to the soldier, mabey because the first one was lost or was full (is this true?) I can tell the this person was in many units such as Flak and a Fiel-Division. Can anybody tell me what else he did?

All of the pages that have writing are in the pictures. The "issued equipment section" seems to have only half of the page?????

Why was he in so many units? What rank equivalent to the USA would he have had? What was his job during the war?

[Lt. Martin]

Here are some more pages including the "half pages"???:

[Lt. Martin]

Any ideas about his units (why he was in so many, are there any special or distinguished units?)????

[Lt. Martin]

Is this book a real example? (most likely a reissued soldbuch)

Very starnge that the soldbuch entries is all made by the same hand and in the same time. IMO is fake, the book itself looks to me also wrong.
Also the red flags is a service in Luftwaffe Felddivision. Take a look at the owner's signature and other entries beginning with the W letter, they are the same. Also the Leutnant Will has the same hand as the owner and like the office soldier who fill the book. The Leutnant word written on Suetterlien font is also made by not sure hand ( today not a lot of peoples who use it- just for fun or by a fakers ) And in case of Leutnant Will write in sutterlin, his signature will be unrecognizible...

[Lt. Martin]

Is there any possibility that it was a "re-issue" book that had to be done at one time, mabey later in the war?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I am certain this is a modern repro Soldbuch.

Is there a photo fitted to the inside front page?

Cheers, Ade.

[Lt. Martin]

No photo.... oh well, at leaste I now know what to look for in the future.

It's a copy IMO too. It doesn't look to have any stamps either. Stewy S
