WEHRPASS WW2 GERMAN SOLDIER MILITARY PASS WWII GERMAN INDENTIFICATION

Description

Original WW2 German Wehrpass

When individuals received their registration notice they were to report to the appropriate recruitment center where they would be issued a Wehrpass, (Military Pass), until they were inducted into active duty. Starting in 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 recipient’s possession as his official military identification document. Generally if the individual was killed in battle the Wehrpass would be forwarded to his next-of-kin as a memento of his service time.
