The three principal booklets you can find relating a soldier are, the Wehrstammbuch, the Wehrpass and the Soldbuch. The Wehrstammbuch was open when the soldier registered for being drafted as was the Wehrpass, but the first was keep by the recruiting office meanwhile the second was given to the man. When this man was drafted in the RAD and/or in the WH he must give it to the company clerk and he received instead the RAD ausweis or the Soldbuch depending were he was serving. One can say that the Wehrstammbuch was the official record of the soldier military life, the Wehrpass is the military records keeped by the owner and the Soldbuch the identification while he was really serving in the WH. Why this three systems, I don't know, but was not uncommon due the obsesion of the germans for the exactitude, so they have three ways to compile the service of a determinated soldier, one is the Wehrstambuch that was always in the recruiting office, the Wehrpass that was keep by the soldier or the unit while in active and the Soldbuch that was enterely responsability of the soldier, if one was lost or damaged, the information was safe as still two other survive. Why of its rarity, I suppose that at the end of the war several was destroyed by his former watchers, others by the conquerors and the suviving examples mantained by the goverment as this is his principal mission, to be in the archives to provide a clear picture of the soldiers career. I have seen several along the years and one is in my posesion, but are not so collectables because not too many knows what really a Wehrstambuch is and also because it looks less military than a Wehrpass or a Soldbuch. Really diferences between a Wehrstambuch and a Wehrpass are really low, as they provide basically the same info, but it seems to be better a Wehrpass, it looks more militar and more "nazi" with the eagle instead a simply catoon cover. I remeber a couple of years ago to see the Soldbuch and Wehrstambuch for Rommel at an auction house. If you have one of more of this pieces are truly highly collectables and you could enjoy several hours researching the dates it contains, also you can find with them several papers relating the man's career, mine has promotion confirmations and award recomendations stored inside of it.

El Wehrpass era un libro (documentación) emitido a todos los reclutas en el momento de su registro para el servicio militar, se mantenía dicho documento hasta su llamada a filas. Cuando el ciudadano se convertía en soldado, entregaba su Wehrpass y recibía un Soldbuch, el Werhpass era guardado y se mantenía en la unidad militar donde el propietario servía.
El Wehrpass era devuelto al propietario sólo cuando pasaba de militar a civil (después de que sus registros fueran inscritos en el Wehrstammbuch). Los Requisitos eran que él mantuviera el documento (wehrpass) hasta la edad 60 años. En caso de muerte, o si el individuo fuera muerto en acción, el Wehrpass era enviado a la familia como un recuerdo y se enviaba desde la oficina de los soldados o regimiento donde servia.
El Wehrstammbuch siempre lo tenía la oficina de reclutamiento.
