The document offers several desirable collecting and research features: a named Wehrmacht soldier, exact service commencement date, Feldpost field-unit number, original officer’s signature and prominent eagle/swastika official stamp.

Condition: Good original wartime condition showing expected age and service wear. There are period folds/creases, toning, minor staining and handling wear, with old staple marks/staples visible along the upper edge. The upper-right corner is folded. The typewriting, signature and official stamp remain very legible. Please examine the photographs carefully for exact condition.

An excellent piece of original Third Reich Wehrmacht military paperwork for a collection of Feldpost material, named soldier documents, German military records or wartime ephemera.
