wwii axis reenactment forum

I had this done by forum member Heerespfarrer Heinz (my unit's chaplain). I have left out the pages where there has been no markings. Tell me what you guys think!

Not a bad Soldbuch, only error I can see at first look is on the uniform/equipment issue page. When a new issue of kit is made the previous issue should be crossed through.

Cheers,

Thanks! I'll get that fixed.

Very nicely written!

Nice, but I see some errors...

If you ever want to make another Soldbuch of for the people who haven't yet:

the Wehrnumber is made of five parts: the name of the recrutingburo (in large cities like München there where several so they had a roman number behind the city), then the 2 last numbers of the date of birth: 24 in your case, the policezone number (also often a Roman number), the number of the recrutinggrid, a number from 1-10 or a letter from A-J

page 2 mostly written by a military unit not a wehrkreisverwaltung.

page 3 here are changes of page 1 or 2 and there are things filled in, but I don't see any adaptations in the same ink in the first two pages.

I knew there were some things wrong as I began to look at other soldbuchs. Plus, my number is way too high for the time it says I joined up.
Thanks!

Looks pretty good.
Your EKM number on page 1 is incomplete, there should be a unit with it, the unit which gave your EKM.
Unless you got a coded LW or KM Erkennungsmarke ofcourse.
And the security writing on page 15 looks a bit strange to me, i´ve never seen it in this way.
It should be wider, IMO.

Here some examples:
EKM writing:



Security checks:

I notice on the second page (photo page) on the 2nd Soldbuch that the soldat is actually facing the wrong way!! Shoud his 'left' ear not be the one shown? or maybe he'd had it chopped off!!!
