IDENTITY DOCUMENTS IN GERMANY - 1944

"Your papers, please"

Identity Documents were found everywhere in the German Reich. The original purpose of this official 1944 SHAEF book was to make Counter Intelligence Officers familiar with the different categories of identity and other documents carried by German citizens, alien labour and friendly aliens within the Third Reich.

It gives a thorough look at the minutia of the bureaucratic administration of wartime Germany, and its fighting services, political and paramilitary organisations, civil services and civilian society, through the documents of a totalitarian state.

These historical documents are now extremely collectable. This original core reference gives reliable information to the purpose of issue, with actual-size colour illustrations of the artefact (front and in some cases back and internal), along with a physical description and issuance regulations.
