Re: Wehrpass - very short
If that is all it shows, it would appear he reported for duty, but did not see any service. No "dog tag" number listed. May have been in a reserved occupation? Others will be able to tell you more.
Cheers, Ade.

He may have died for some reason prior to moving on with his service as the book starts then seems to grind to a halt,

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: Wehrpass - very short
Ok. Hard to read his personal writing but he appears to have been a RAD member since he has a worker number but no military one. I looks like he was to be assigned to the Berlin Wehrkreis (defense district) later as a reservist. That is about all I see. Wehrpass books were used by the RAD as well as duty soldiers since RAD duty was required prior to entering the military. I think 2 years was the requirement. I'm pretty sure that was dropped as the war progressed. That's all I can offer.
