ID Document & Paper Grouping: Wehrmacht Infanterie Pionier Ersatz Bataillon 33 Gefreiter's Soldbuch, Deutsches Reich Kennkarte, Identity Disc, Allied POW Prisoner Tag & Additional Paperwork!!!

Offered is a wonderful original grouping to a Wehrmacht gefreiter who saw wartime service with Pionier Ersatz Bataillon 33; which was attached to the 172. Reserve Division, which was a depot division on the Western Front, which loaned troops and units out to other units. From the grouping it appears that this veteran was captured in France in August of 1944, assigned to the 191. Pionier Bataillon, which was part of the 91. Infanterie Division. The 91. Infanterie Division was heavily involved in the fighting on D-Day in Normandie and then during the retreat through central France in 1944. The grouping offered includes:

• A wartime issued soldbuch is in good condition, with all pages accounted for, an attached uniform photo of the holder along with numerous handwritten text and stamped entries. Some wear as is common with these late war soldbuchs, but binding is intact.

• A wartime issued Deutsches Reich Kennkarte, with handwritten text, official stampings and a photo of the holder (same subject as in the offered soldbuch). The kennkarte has storage fold lines and fraying to the edges but is complete.

• A fully intact wartime German military identity disc for the soldier in this lot, with Stamm. Kp. Pi. Ers. Btl. 33’ etched on both halves of the disc. Really well preserved.

• A wartime Allied Prisoner of War tag with string attached on wartime oil cloth for the named holder of the above listed items, showing that he was captured in August 25th, 1944, near PARIS, France.

• A wartime Allied paper certificate of discharge for a man in the Luftwaffe (not the veteran the items above are for; but it came with this grouping so it is being included.

• Several miscellaneous wartime documents to both the named Wehrmacht holder of he listed items and one for the Luftwaffe subject meantioned in the discharge paperwork.

Really a magnificent wartime grouping, priced to sell!
