Description
The Luftwaffe Soldbuch was a vital document for every German airman, serving as identification and an official record of their military service. Soldiers were required to keep it on them at all times, as it allowed them to draw pay, record issued equipment, verify leave and document awards, promotions and medical history.
These reproduction WW2 Luftwaffe Soldbuch Sleeves closely follow wartime designs, featuring the same eagle and text as seen on original examples. Made from durable cardboard, they provided an extra layer of protection, ensuring the Soldbuch remained intact throughout service.
An excellent way to enhance a historical impression and add some realism to a reenactment.
