Definitions - Militärpass and Soldbuch

[IrishGunner]

I would appreciate some help with good clear definitions for "Militärpass" and "Soldbuch"

This is what I have....any edits/comments welcome:

Militärpass - a small pocket-sized booklet containing information about the soldier's military service, including training, assignments, awards, battles, etc; usually maintained at the company/battery level headquarters.

Soldbuch - a small booklet pocket-sized booklet containing information about the soldier's personal information, including pay, home leave, time in hospital, etc; usually kept by the soldier himself.

Together they represent the equivalent of a soldier's military personnel file.

Thats about it, although some soldbuchs do have awards entered and you can usually follow the units by the different entries...
