PANZER OFFICER'S SOLDBUCH
Panzer soldier's military identification book, issued to private Kurt Kruger whose photo is stapled and tied with an ink seal to the inside front cover. The book is 24pp. small, 8vo., and was issued to Kruger on Aug. 25, 1943 at Stahnsdorf. Kruger initially served with the Stamm Co. Tank Reconnaissance Reserve and Training Dept. 4, later was transferred to infantry and finally was transferred to "Pz. A. E. and A. A. 6" at Iserlohn. The book also includes weapons, clothing and equipment issued, inoculations, hospital stamps, pay grade stamps, and entries for three furloughs. Also present is a pass, 1p. 8vo., Zagan, Poland, Sep. 25, 1935, issued by the Polish Military Command indicating that prisoner of war Kurt Kruger is permitted to return to his place of residence, Berlin. A Russian document, 1p. 16mo., Sep. 25, 1945, untranslated, is also included and presumably also permits Kruger to (luckily) return home. Three pieces.
