Germany - Document - 4 X Duits Militär-Paß (militair...

4 x Original German Military Passport (military passport) from the Empire, presumably used during World War I. What is a Militär-Paß? This was the most important personal identification document for a German soldier at that time. It served as an official file in which the soldier’s entire military career was meticulously recorded. Features on the cover: • Reichsadler: At the top is the characteristic German eagle printed. • Militär-Paß: Printed in the traditional Fraktur font. • Jahresklasse: At the bottom is "Jahresklasse" indicating the draft class or the soldier’s year of birth. • Infanterie: On the lower right the branch of service can still be read faintly (Infanterie). What’s inside? If you open the booklet, you will typically find handwritten pages with historical details, including: • The personal data, place of birth and the soldier’s occupation. • The branch of the army and the regiment in which he served. • Promotions, received medals or distinctions. • An overview of the possible battles and fronts (such as the Western or Eastern Front) where he fought. • Any injuries, hospitalizations or transfers. Such booklets are nowadays sought-after historical collectibles (militaria) because they provide a direct, personal insight into a soldier’s life during his military career and possible deployment during the Great War.
