Wehrmacht (Heer) 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 pass is complete with portrait-photo. The pass is named to 'Otto Pohl', member within the 'Festungs-Bataillon 647' which was deployed in Stavanger (Norway). Otto was trained to use the 'Gewehr 98', Light Machine Gun, MP34, Pistole P35 (Polish) and KwK 5cm gun. He was born in Czechoslovakia as a German national but not accepted back home as a citizen after the war. Included are two pages of his Soldbuch as well. Interesting original Wehrpaß!
