D-186 Wehrpass of Luftwaffe (Later Waffen-SS)
Unteroffizier Uberplann “Jagerstab” Member Johann Kohlstrom
Kohlstrom was born January 30, 1897 in Telletitz, Germany. His
Wehrpass was issued to him January 22, 1940 by an Army Overstleutnant from the
Staff of the Central Recruiting Office in Mittelback. His picture shows a
very evil “Hitler-moustached” and “no-nonsense” looking guy in civilian
attire! He was found to be fit for combat service (“k.v.”) and was
placed in the category of “Ldw.1” (Landwehr 1 – trained, between 35 – 45
years old) and was officially sworn into military service on May 27, 1943.
His career entries include Service with a German Army Infantry Field Unit
(Dragoons, Rgt. 11) on the Eastern Front, service with the Pilot/Flight
Leader’s School, Company Flight Battalion XVII, Company Luftwaffe Guard
battalion BII and even service at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp with the
3. Company SS “Totenkopf” Guard Battalion. Some of Kohlstrom’s
promotions include Gefreiter while attending Pilot/Flight Leader’s School in
February 1944, Obergefreiter in August 1944, and finally Unteroffizier Uberplann
soon after his service with the Jagerstab, possibly as a reward for outstanding
service while with them. Along with this Wehrpass, we will include 5 pages
of research/translations from the book, explaining and identifying Kohlstrom’s
Wehrpass entries and service.
