yes it has value.
You'd have to scan or photograph more pages to get a good feel for value and relevance. But, yes, they do have value depending on where the solider was stationed, any medals they have, what battles they were in, their rank, units they were in, it goes on. Difficult to value based on these pictures.
Highly collectable since there is an identity to be seen. Some of these can run into the hundreds of dollars depending the holders position whether politically or in the field. Regards Larry

Adding to what Larry said, this particular type of item, being that it's so unique, is a particular treat for many of us. That is, scanning and posting more pages opens the books on another one of a kind page out of history. I for one look forward to seeing more.
Will def post moreafter weekend over thanks guys
Will be interesting to see more, and clearer, images. There is a Fritz Babatz and born in 1909 listed in the Volksbund as having been killed in action on 3rd February 1944 at Krassnje/Gory. Unfortunately the day, month and place of birth don't match but it certainly wouldn't be the first time those details are incorrect in the VB database.
I will post better pics tonight, thanks guys

putting more pictured as requested
Do you have any images of page 12 and any showing awards and campaign entries?
Judging by some of the entries shown, or not entered, I wouldn't be surprised if page 12 is bare of entries and that he never served in the military. If so then to answer one of your original questions this example is worth around €15-20.
While WP are interesting as they provide an insight into an individual, collectors prefer those that were issued to those who went on to serve in the military rather than those who just registered for military service but weren't called up.
