christerd Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 A Militärpass found its way to my collection today On the outside it looks like any other pass given to a 30 year old Georg Heinberg.... And when open, we see that he was drafted into the war in August 1915... He was 1,68 cm long and served as a Medic at a reserve Hospital , nothing strange with that ? As you can se he served during all war on Western front . So what the twist ? Aha , take a look on the first page in the pass Where was Hr Heinberg born 30 years earlier ? Yep ! in Brussels , Belgium ! Born in enemy country ! Must have been a strange feeling for him ....... Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Very interesting, so far I´ve only seen a few WWII Wehrpässe for guys born abroad (USA, former German colonies ...), none for WWI. Did your man receive weapon training or awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
