WH (Heer) Soldbuch
Wehrmacht (Heer) Soldbuch of Obergefreiter 'Hans-Günter Weber'. 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 Soldbuch is completely filled in with many entries. Hans-Günter has been awarded with the Wound Badge in Black, the Ostmedal, the Iron Cross 2nd Class, the Infantry Assault Badge and the Wound Badge in Silver. Unfortunately his portrait-photo has been cut-out from the cover.See photos for more details. Despite the damage still an interesting original Soldbuch!
