Jock Auld Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Guys, I thought you all might like this? You see less of these than WW2 passes! Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I was thinking the same... this is the first postwar wehrpass I have seen. What was this man's rank? Was it listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Paul, he left the Army as Gefreiter. See picture 3 (Gefr.) and picture 6 (Gefreiter). Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Auld Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Paul, No awards just his national service time, I will post his promotions page later today when I can take a picture. jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I look forward to seeing that page. There are very few changes from the WW2 version of these books. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Jock, Thanks for posting the pictures from this Wehrpass. I don't find them all that uncommon. I have several and they are inexpensive to buy. Regards, Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard H.Holst Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello readers. As a little aside I have a grouping belonging to a member of a night fighting formation stationed in Romania for the protection of the Romanian oil fields.He apparently was flying during the U.S.attack on the fields in 1943. He survived the war but was " invited" to register for military service when the Bundeswehr was instituted in 1956. Bernhard H. Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Auld Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Gordon, It is probably where I do my shopping as most of the holders of these are still living for the most part? I see more wartime passes than i do of these at the markets/house clearance/tip etc. I guess you can dial them up quite easily on ebay and the likes but for me i don't see them on the ground that often. When I do I normally never bother looking, it is only now that I know some of you guys have an interest in Bund stuff that I pick them up. Here is his promotions page.

aubagne98 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi, here is a Luftwaffen Wherpass from 1958. A former Wehrmacht Lieutenant who reenlisted in 1957, retired 1983 as Colonel. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Michael, Very interesting Wehrpass. These are hard to find and as Bernard says, this officer had some very interesting assignments during his career. I would like to add one like this to my collection.
