The most interesting part is certainly the list of his campaigns on page 15 and 33.
Just to name a few:
- Unternehmen "Rudolf"
- Unternehmen "Hamburg"

It says the list carries on on page 33 ("Fortsetzung Seite 33 Anhang") which means there once was an extra page added to the ID.
There are many more campaigns noted however they are hard to read but will be easy to identify for specialists.
