Luftwaffe Wehrpaß
Luftwaffe 'Wehrpaß'. When individuals received their registration notice they were to report to the appropriate recruitment center where they would be issued a 'Wehrpaß', until they were inducted into active duty. From the autumn of 1939, when an individual was inducted into active military service the Wehrpaß was exchanged at the recruitment office for the 'Soldbuch' (Pay Book), which remained in the recipients possession as his official military identification document. The recruitment office would retain the Wehrpass and chronicle the individuals active service record in it. The Wehrpaß belonged to Unteroffizier 'Wilhelm Metzger', he was stationed at various airfields in Böbblingen, Göppingen, Echterdingen, Leipheim, Fürstenfeldbruck and Neuburg and was dismissed from the army on 27 April 1945 at the Airfield in Neu-Ulm. He was awarded with the SA Sports Badge. The cover came loose of the booklet, otherwise in good condition. Take a look at the photos for more information. Interesting original Wehrpaß!
