D-119   Wehrmacht Driver’s License (with Possible Bullet Hole Damage?) For Edward Furlius
Neat example, though with some very heavy wear and some damage to the piece, just inward from the spine.  The peculiar shape of this indicates what may be possibly a bullet strike! There is an accompanying folded paper with the license, identified as a “Shießliste” - a shooting / firing list,
which recorded how accurate a shot he was.  There are entries in pencil on the list (both on the front and the inside) which appear to identify weapon qualification dates. One entry indicates “handgrenade”. This list was stored in the driver’s license, front side up (but upside down) at the same time.  The position of the hole and ancillary shredding of the paper Schießliste page lines up exactly with the license booklet. The license is a bit fragile, with wear to the edges (crinkling).  Ferlinz served with Feldpost number 57867 B - 1 Kompanie, Reserve Panzerjäger Abteilung 5 based in France. The license is for a Class 2 Internal Combustion Vehicle  (Verbrennungsmaschine) for light goods vehicle (truck 3½ ton)Really intriguing pair of documents.
