The dates in my originals on the medical page are either a date stamp, or where hand written they are done in the format 30.IX.44 etc. rather than 30.09.44
The typhus shots in mine are no more than 10 days apart, with some as soon as 5 days.

I have seen both as far as date formats go.

Weird on the Typhus shots you have. Are you sure as soon as five days? For the initial set of three shots? In humans the series of shots (usually three when it's given for the first time) are usually given 7 days apart in the military.[/code]

Definitely 5 days. The dates are stamped, so they are clear to read. I'll attempt to power up my steam driven scanner later and scan some in.

Just looking at some of my originals, I have a guy in a luftwaffe flak unit and his typhus jabs are
20.9.39
26.9.39
3.10.39
17.9.40
18.1.41
8.2.41

Another Heer guy has
26.10.39
6.11.39
13.11.39
20.2.41
19.5.43
4 Feb 44 (ink stamp)

So looks like your time spacing for the initial jabs are right.

I have one other Luft Guy who was in sevice from at least 15/7/41
and his only typhus jab is 2.7.42? but I have other jabs for him as late as 25/1/45! weird!

the guys on http://www.dererstezug.com have some pdfs on soldbuecher, they did some research on a lot of originals and explain stuff really good. superb site.

The Soldbuch Anatomy articles from Der Erste Zug are really good. You can find them at http://www.dererstezug.com/LandserItems.htm under Issued Gear. They have other good stuff, too.

Oh, and if you ever make BDM documents, let me know so I can a) get a set and b) link to them from my reenacting page so others can get them as well.

Well almost there, the soldbuch.co.uk website will be up and running in the nest few days. Here's a starter with the Soldbuch completion service.

And more to come.............
If you have any questions or want to make an order please PM me.

Very nice Soldbuchs. Obviously a lot of time and effort go into them. Well done.........

hope this goes really well! great price too. Xmas ... ///drums fingers ...

Just a quick note on prices, price does not include the Soldbuch!!!, price is for completion service and extra's included in the package, you are to provide your own Soldbuch or can provide one for you at a price of £12. Group discounts are available, 5 or more orders for soldbuch completion from the same group at the same time will gain a 20% discount of the total price. e.g. 5 x £18 (rekruit package)= £90 - 20% (group discount) = Total £72 (+P+P).

Ok hope that clears things up,

Alex you know you want one don't you
Any questions PM me

Thanks,

Paul

just made this sticky as I think it's a great service at a very reasonable cost. I'll unsticky it when he pays for advertising lol.

Paul, what unit stamps do you have ?

With regard to unit stamps I can get any made that are needed, the most often used stamps contained the units feldpost number, so If you want an accurate stamped document I do need to know the units feldpost number or if you wish I can just invent one for you.

Cheers,

Paul
