Original Wehrpass, Führerschein (Military Driver's License) and POW Paper of Stabsgefreiter Neumann, who primarily served during Panzer-Regiment 2. He was decorated with the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (most likely still for Stalingrad as they were only then just deployed on the Italian Front) and Winterschlacht im Osten. He was likely enough to escape Stalingrad when he got sick on November 2, 1942 with Gelbsucht. After Panzer-Regiment 2 he went to several trainings units, where he was trained on Panther!, and ended up with the Panzerjäger-Abteilung 10.
Best entry is that he was trained as a Richtschütze on a Panther with the Panther-Ausbildungs-Kompanie in Eisenach!
Very interesting Wehrpass related to Stalingrad and Panther tank!

Thomas Ludwig Werner Freiherr von Fritsch (4 August 1880 – 22 September 1939) was a German Generaloberst (full general) who served as Commander-in-Chief of the German Army from February 1934 until February 1938, when he was forced to resign after he was falsely accused of being homosexual. His and War Minister Blomberg's ousting, in the Blomberg-Fritsch affair, was a major step in Adolf Hitler's establishment of tighter control over the armed forces. Just over a year later, before the outbreak of World War II, Fritsch was recalled as Colonel-in-chief of the 12th Artillery Regiment. He died in battle in Poland early in the war, the second German general to perish in that conflict after Wilhelm Fritz von Roettig.
