Description
A German Heer 'wehrpass' of Franz Georg Wilhelm Buker, born, January 1, 1915, bearing his personal information and identification photo on the first few pages. The documentation is fairly complete, tracking his service history from 1934-1945, serving in a multitude of different conflicts. Most importantly, the history shows he was present at Stalingrad from November 19, 1942 until January 6, 1943, just narrowly missing the surrender and destruction of the German 6th Army at the end of that month. Buker served until the end of the war, with the last page of the wehrpass showing he was dismissed May 7, 1945, the date of Germany's unconditional surrender. Tucked within the front cover of the pass is a dog tag attributed to Buker, stamped 'G.K.p. 165' and 'INFERSBATL132.' Lightly worn, some stains to pages, yet overall good.
