The handwriting looks weird.
It looks like someone tried to upgrade one of those empty Volkssturm Soldbucher.
 
It is bogus.
Like I said, the handwriting looks odd, but also all entries, which make no sense actually are done by the same person, this isn't possible.
It looks artifically aged too.
Your images are to small to say anything about the stamps used but from what I see I don't have high hopes for them either.
 
The Volksturm wasn't part of the Army (Wehrmacht) it was an NSDAP (nazi party) organistation, they didn't use WH stamps.
It was only when they went in to action that they, for Geneva convention reasons, became a part of the Wehrmacht.
 
Good afternoon

- material cover looks not ok
- stamps used: not (in any sense) Volkssturm linked
- The writing: form, used pencil, abbreviations ... nothing is ok

For me this is a repro Soldbuch, not even a WW 2 era blank issue, filled in by a ... who didn't know his stuff.

A decent original standard filled in SB (Volkssturm) is worth 125 - 200 € depending combat area, medals, condition, ..,

This one is worth: "0"

I also noticed the bogus handwriting immediately. I'm glad to get authoritative confirmation!
Danke sehr, Peter! :)
