WH (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 Wehrpaß belonged to Obergefreiter 'Kurt Schulz', he came into active military service on 1 March 1941. He served in several units on the eastern front, mainly transport related like the 'Wehrmachttransportleitung Ostland'. On 29 March 1944 he got wounded by schrapnell and he died in a hospital in Germany in Kassel on 1 May 1944. Interesting original Wehrpaß!
