An interesting selection of photos. Looks like some sort of recovery or salvage unit maybe?

Stamped version of his signature

SS-Sturmbannführer Konrad Leroux (also known as Kurt) Born: 01 Jan 1894 Died: 04 Jun 1943 - shot and killed by his Adjutant after a disagreement near Kharkov Highest rank reached: SS-Obersturmbannführer SS-Kommando zbV Berlin Personalabteilung Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler zbV 1.SS-Panzer-Division LSSAH Formed a Court Martial on 30th June 1934 (Night of the Long Knives) and conducted trials and executions against SA Leaders.

As always, a nice selection. Did you see the paperwork grouping belonging to Conrad Albrecht that was recently listed on the market? https://www.weitze.net/militaria/89/Kriegsmarine_grosser_Dokumenten_und_Fotonachlass_des_spaeteren_Generaladmiral_der_Kriegsmarine_Conrad_Albrecht_nbsp__364789.html

There doesn't seem to be any combat awards so looks like early or pre-war and judging by the less-than-sprightly look to a fair amount of them I'd say that they could well have been something like a Wehrbezirkskommando or some such background admin unit.

Those are the kind of things that would make an ideal starting point for a new collector on a limited budget.

Nice little selection of a mans life.

There seems to be a Feldpost number half way down the letter, although no idea if it is the senders or he is passing on someone else's contact Feldpost number. That FpNr was mainly used by 12. Kompanie Luftnachrichten-Regiment 4.

I have a mate who collects items relating to the Mutterkreuz and that is exactly what he uses his copies of this book for.

Nice example. Is the photographer's gallery name shown on the reverse?

Does the WP relate to any WW2 service or is it one issued to an older male?

Email them at the email address in my first reply and ask for the relevant file.

Here is his RKT card file (Source: Bundesarchiv RW 59/2823)

The Keilig book will only have his surname and his pre-war unit. His personnel card file is available at Bundesarchiv/Invenio which will provide a lot more information. If you email them and ask for a copy (using the file number on the left) they might provide one after a month or two (or four): militaerarchiv@bundesarchiv.de
