NAZI WAFFEN-SS SOLDBUCH - CUSTOMS AGENT

THE VERY LATE-WAR
WAFFEN-SS SOLDBUCH
OF AN ASSISTANT TO
A CUSTOMS AGENT,
RICHARD METELKA

This is an absolutely excellent very rare, very late-war (Metten & Co Bestell Nr. 4332) SS-Soldbuch zugleich Personalausweis (SS-Pay Book and Personal Identity Document) number 65625 in the name of 48 year old Richard Metelka of Wiedner Hauptstrasse 77 in Wien (Vienna), the second largest city in Nazi Germany.

This Soldbuch was issued on 15 February 1945 by Amt ,,N’’ of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Office “N” of the Head Office of State Security) and lists Metelka with a service rank of Hilfszollbetriebsassistenten (an assistant to officers of the Nazi Custom Service, probably an armed guard).

It is clear from entries in this Waffen-SS Soldbuch that the thin, blond Metelka was sent to the SS Communication Training School at Hof on the Saale and that on 5 April 1945 he was issued a weapon, a bayonet, a weapon cleaning outfit and a gas mask. Other entries identify his wife as Maria Horak and mention that he was hospitalized in Krems on the Donau.

This is a very rare, very late war SS Soldbuch precisely as issued and used with no security photo of the owner inside the front cover.

Few collectors have ever seen the late-war SS Soldbuch with the picture of Adolf Hitler on page 2 facing the identity information of the owner. The ID is the same size as other regular SS Soldbuecher, with 32 individual pages.

Printed by Metten & Co. in Berlin on the best paper available late in the war.

This rare late-war SS Soldbuch of Richard Metelka is **SOLD**.
