Panzer Soldbuch & Führerschein – Panzer-Abteilung 7 – MP40 – Photo in Panzer Uniform

Interesting original WWII document grouping belonging to Georg Kubitz, comprising his original Wehrmacht Soldbuch and Wehrmacht-Führerschein, with documentation of service in several armoured formations and training establishments.

Kubitz’s early military career is particularly well documented. His Wehrmacht-Führerschein was issued in 1938 while serving with Panzer-Nachrichten-Abteilung 37, and retains his original photograph, signature and official stamps.

His Soldbuch subsequently records service with:

• Panzer-Nachrichten-Abteilung 37
• Lehrtruppe Panzer-Truppenschule Bergen
• Panzer-Abteilung 7
• Later service with additional formations recorded in the Soldbuch
• Promotion to Unteroffizier

Particularly interesting is the recorded issue of an MP40, documented in the weapon/equipment section of the Soldbuch.

Kubitz was also awarded the Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938, the commemorative medal for the German occupation of the Sudetenland, adding an interesting pre-war element to the grouping.

A very interesting and well-documented personal grouping, particularly attractive for collectors of early Wehrmacht, Panzer and communications units. The combination of a 1938 Wehrmacht driver’s licence, pre-war service, Panzer-Truppenschule documentation, Panzer-Abteilung 7 service and a recorded MP40 issue makes this a particularly characterful Soldbuch grouping.
