What goes in a Soldbuch?

Post by 352nd »

Could anybody tell me what information goes into a soldbuch? I've never investigated one and i was thinking of getting a blank one to put my details in. I know there's your basic features and details (e.g. name, hair colour, height etc) and a section about awards and weapons but what else goes into one?

Pages 6 & 7 - standard equipment issue
Page 8 - non standard equipment issue
Page 8a - Details of weapons training and weapons issued
Pages 8b, 8c & 8d - details of equipment exchages/replacements/losses (I think)
Page 9 - innoculations
Page 10 & 11 - Optical info (blank if you don't wear glasses)
Pages 12 & 13 - details of wounds etc.
Pages 14 & 15 - details of items removed from person on arrival at hosptitals
Page 16 - dental info (missing teeth etc.)
Page 17 - continuation of Page 4
Pages 18 & 19 - details of pay
Pages 20 & 21 - details of pay advances
Page 22 - awards
Page 23 & 24 - details of leave over 5 days

Not sure that is all correct - I may have some of it wrong.

No standard items were items not listed on pages 6 & 7, in the case of the Feldgendarmerie this included ther motorcyclists coat and for those of Oberfeldwebel rank and higher the ringkragen. It could include items such as mapcase and contents, compass etc.

Private purchase items were never listed in the soldbuch as they were not issued by the Reich.
