Wehrpass Prinz Eugen

Not too sure what to think of this. I have a Stammkart and other docs with it. Anyone think good or otherwise. Many thanks for your help.

It looks ok, a 'clean' WP to a Slovakian recruit. While the first few units are Prinz Eugen he never progressed beyond the training units of that division before he was packed off to Czechoslovakia. Do you know if he survived the immediate post-war days and weeks?

Many thanks. Can't tell. It's nice as I have his Stammkart, Auszeug, the Erklarung document, and a promotion document to Sturmann. No other details after his service that I can find.

[hucks216]

Can you post his promotion document?

[Bonecollector]

Here it is.

Last date on his Stammkart is 22/4/45. So he survived. That's his last date of service.

The war in Czechoslovakia actually went on beyond the official surrender in May 1945 by a few days, and the Czechoslovakian population gave no quarter to any German troops or civilians trying to evacuate the country after the war ended so even though he may of made it to May 1945 there is no guarantee he survived the aftermath and repercussions.
If you can, watch this BBC documentary about the immediate aftermath of the war to see what went on...

The signature on the promotion document is that of Wilhelm Hering who previously served with SS-Infanterie-Rgt 4.
