Hi there.
Having looked into the man mentioned, I have found a couple of things.
On the Volksbund I found an Armin Jantz (Not Arnim Jantz), but the date and place of birth match the details on the Ausweis.
Name: Armin Jantz
Date of birth: 31.07.1911
Place of birth: Thorn
Death/missing date: 10.01.1945
Death/missing place: nicht verzeichnet
Service rank: Unteroffizier
Armin Jantz is buried in the military cemetery in Weeze-Kriegsgräberstätte, Germany.
Armin Jantz | Grabersuche-Online
Also there is a casualty card on Ancestry.
Name: Armin Jantz
Rank: Unteroffizier
Birth Date: 31 July 1911
Birth Place: Landkreis Thorn
Military Unit: 1./Kompanie Grenadier Regiment 1222
Death Date: 10 January 1945
Death Place: Hamb Bei Kapellen
Mother: Luise Jantz
He died due to an illness.
I found his Ausweis online -
Regimentals | GERMAN WWII SS AUSWEIS.
I can't say that is definitely the same man with the connection to the helmet, but I thought I would add this here for your guys thoughts.
Kind regards,
Will.
Saw those too Will and sold by a major dealer as well. Definitely appears to be the same man in these photos as in the OP’s.
