wow. This is definitely a piece of history right here. i would say its "great", but I wouldnt expect that to be the kind of word used to describe an SS camp gaurd. But the wehrpass is most definitely an interesting and rare one to own. Nice documentation of a late war older SS mann especially with ties to the V-weapons factory. Many thanks for sharing this
