Waffen-SS, 'standard-issued' paybook (or: 'Wehrpass') as was issued for the: 'SS-Mann u. Kradschützen' Erwin Neumann, born in 1925 ('SS-Panzergrenadier-Brigade 51' ie. 17th Waffen-SS-Division “Götz von Berlichingen“)

This is a neat - and with certainty scarcely encountered! - Waffen-SS 'standard-issued' paybook (or: 'Wehrpass') as was issued on 23rd June 1942 the: 'SS-Mann u. Kradschützen' Erwin Neumann, born in 1925 and that comes in an overall nice- (and fully complete- and/or filled-in-), condition. Neumann was actively enlisted (on 31st März 1943) within the unit (ie. company) named: '2./Kradschützen-Ersatz Batallion' as was stationed in Ellwangen/Jagst. A bit later (on 11th August 1943) he was transferred to the: 'SS-Unterführerschule Lauenburg' wherein he stayed upto 6th June 1944 (see entries on page 12) and was apparently transferred to the (interesting!) unit named the: 'Stabs-Kompanie des SS-Panzergrenadier-Brigade 51' (which unit was stationed in France and was later absorbed into the 17th Waffen-SS-Division “Götz von Berlichingen”). These units were specially formed as quick reaction forces that could be speedily deployed to any area in the West to repel the various Allied invasion attempts. It should be noted that the soldiers from this infamous 'Brigade 51' were responsible for the massacre in Buchères/France, which took place on 24 August 1944 when 68 civilians were killed in a reprisal following an ambush by partisans against the unit. This particular unit was also involved in several other atrocities against civilians in the Troyes/France area. The WP comes in a fully complete condition (it is not damaged nor denazified whatsoever) and bears all standard entries and stamps as to be expected with such a neat standard, Waffen-SS-ID-document. The WP holds a (civil-) picture of Neumann (as more often). I deem that this example might merit further investigative work: I deem that I have priced this neat example, accordingly!
