Wehrpass and Personnel Folder for Motor Transport Member-This is a MASSIVE grouping belonging to Johann Oswald. He emigrated to America with his family but then moved back to Germany in 1939 and joined the army. He was a member of a motor transport unit and fought all over Poland, Ukraine and Russia among other places. He earned the Russian Front medal among a few other awards. This grouping includes his Wehrpass with many clear, typed entries, his photo and a picture of him and his family when still in the US. It also includes his entire personnel folders and these are absolutely chuck full of info, letters etc. He was born on May 1, 1905 in Thierham, Germany. Battles he participated in include Rawa Ruska, Lemberg Stalin-Linie, Donezbecken and many more. The entries start in June of 1941 and the last entry I can fine is May of 1944. I see no indication of him being killed. This will provide hours and hours of fun and research for the buyer!
