Another really interesting Wehrpass and you are going to have to hunt your next one down for us to look at at.
Page 3, section 7 of the Wehrpass initially states he was single (Ledig), but was married (verh = Verheiratet) on 1.8.1941. So he wasn’t married longer before he shipped out and was killed in action 13 months later.
15.8.1941 - 30.8.1941
Marschbataillon z.b.V 1088
I couldn’t find any references to this unit, but here is some information about what it did. A "Marschbataillon" is just a temporary formation which organises the transport of replacements.
marschbataillon or marsch-bataillon - Feldgrau.net
z.b.V is an abbreviation for zur besonderen Verwendung (For special use).
The information below came from a really interesting document that I use, it explains about replacement troops eg Ers Kp (Ersatz Kompanie).
Inf.Pz.Jäg.Ers.Kp (Infanterie-Panzerjäger-Ersatz-Kompanie) Infantry antitank replacement company. This unit sometimes appears as the 14th company of an infantry replacement regiment and in any case bears the number of such a regiment, by which it is controlled. (Page 36)
