The entry for his Feldgendarmerie unit is rather faintly stamped.
Came with his driving licence which was nice as I didn't have a Feldgendarmerie issued licence.
I think having the two most personal items, the tag and the Soldbuch together is really nice. You can see his face had aged in the years between 1940 and 1943.
Any wounds, awards etc?
Thanks for sharing them.
Cheers, Ade.

His unit stamp is clearest on the cover of the driving licence. 1 Kompanie, Feldgendarmerie Abteilung 521 (mot.)
Nothing special about the guy, but my reason for buying the set was not so much him, but the unit and who he would have served alongside. I wonder if anyone can guess who that would be ?
Arnie's Dad!

That was quick Ade ! Spot on. I have seen stuff to Feldgend Abt 521 before, but this guy was actually in the same Kompanie, a much smaller unit so would almost certainly have known Gustav Schwarzenegger. Maybe even Gustav was his immediate superior.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's father was in the Wehrmacht? I didn't know that.
