KIA Wehrpass Panzer-Regiment 3 with Letter

Original World War II Wehrpass issued to Gefreiter Anton Sippl, documenting armored service with Panzer-Regiment 3 of the 2. Panzer-Division.

Sippl initially served with the 6. Kompanie / Panzer-Regiment 3 and was later assigned to the Stabskompanie II./Panzer-Regiment 3. The Wehrpass records that he was killed in action on 18 April 1942. Shortly before his death, he was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz on 22 March 1942, reflecting combat injury sustained during operations.

Awards recorded:

• Wound Badge in Black (Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz) – 22 March 1942

Included with the Wehrpass:

• Original letter from his commanding officer relating to Sippl’s death

• Typed English translation of the letter

Condition:
Original wartime document in good condition for age, with expected handling wear and light toning. Entries are legible. The accompanying letter shows normal age-related wear.

Notes:

• Named Wehrpass with clear Panzer unit attribution

• Documented KIA with exact date

• Desirable association with Panzer-Regiment 3 / 2. Panzer-Division

• CO death notification letter adds strong historical context and provenance

A compelling and historically significant Panzer Wehrpass grouping, well suited for advanced collectors of armored units, KIA-documented soldiers, or 2. Panzer-Division history.
