This is the SS-Soldbuch of Willem Seidel who was a member of the Dutch-SS regiment 'Landstorm Niederland'. This soldier was a late enlistment into the war joining in late 1944. The Soldbuch was with the soldier which he carried everywhere with him throughout his career. I have included a number of his pages from his Soldbuch (scroll down for more pages ).

Personal Information about the soldier is on Page 2 of his Soldbuch.
