There may well be a good reason why the documents for the intervening years have gone missing. At the same time these books were sold, his award documents were sold off separately. They show he served in III./ SS-Polizei Regiment 9 and I./SS-Polizei Regiment 16. Both these units were part of Polizei Kampfgruppe Jeckeln. Jeckeln, being SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln, the Einsatzgruppe commander responsible for many atrocities during his "police" actions.
As I was told by one of the top researchers on the subject of the Eisnatzgruppen, this guy Stolz even if he didn't pull the trigger himself in "questionable activities", certainly knew who did!
Perhaps the Soldbuch-Dienstpass listing his service with Jeckeln were deliberately disposed of by him at the wars end , to avoid drawing attention to his activities.
Seems to be a logical explanation for the missing soldbuch etc Jeckelns reputation was certainly unsavoury and yet he became an Eichenlaubtraeger as a reward for his Einsatzgruppen commands i believe , executed in Riga in 1946 !!

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
