RNLSGC Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hello, I know that I am not a very active poster on this forum but I do enjoy reading all the various topics/fields. As such I was wondering if the Forum would mind in assisting me with translating two Wherpass that I have had for years but sadly not researched until now. I will post several photos of each in this matter Kind Regards Mark
RNLSGC Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Just to clarify, I have two not to. Sorry
RNLSGC Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 .... Last Two scans for the first Wehrpass
RNLSGC Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 Sorry this is the last one for this Wehrpass
RNLSGC Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 As said that was the last scan for this Wehrpass and let me say thanks in advance for any help on this.
Naxos Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 The Wehrpass is made out to: Hans Karl Heinrich Josef Lingens born: September 26, 1904 in Aachen He is catholic and a lawyer by profession. Can you post better (straight on) pictures of pages 22 and 23

hucks216 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Didn't Christoph Awender give a translation of these on AHF about 10 days ago?
RNLSGC Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Hucks Yes he did but there seem to be a question as to the validity of both due to the use of an Americanized month and the mention of espionage on the others. So I was trying to gain more information. Sorry, I should have notated that
hucks216 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) The espionage thing is quite a common thing to see in Wehrpasse as it just means that the person has had a briefing on, basically. security measures. Here is such an entry in a WP from my collection to someone badly wounded at El-Alamein and discharged from the Wehrmacht. Edited August 16, 2011 by hucks216
speedytop Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) As hucks216 wrote, it is a normal instruction about secrecy, espionage etc. December is the old German writing style. In this time it is not usual, but not forbidden. Uwe Edited August 16, 2011 by speedytop
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 As hucks216 wrote, it is a normal instruction about secrecy, espionage etc. This brings back memories..... I remember one of my first books.... I was really excited to find a similar stamp... then found out it simply meant that he had been informed about spies and data protection...
Gordon Williamson Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 This brings back memories..... I remember one of my first books.... I was really excited to find a similar stamp... then found out it simply meant that he had been informed about spies and data protection... I guess most document collectors went through that when first encountering these entries ! Its amazing the number of times books with these entries have been offered by dealers claiming it means that the guy in the book had been trained as a Spy ! :-)
