ausweis 1941

Hi,

This ausweis is very interesting since it was issued not in Germany but an embassy in the far east.Interesting too is the fact that it was inspected by the Japanese, hence the rubber stamp and hand annotation saying "German". What was the fate of Germans in the east as war worsened? is there more details of this?

Thanks,

Neil.

Hi Neil, what an obscure and interesting item. Never seen one before.

I would only guess they faced the same hardships as the Japanese? I would think they would have been placed into camps once taken prisoner by US Forces, with eventual repatriation to Germany in 1946/47????

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,

Yes, probably so (if they did not die before that during the war). But as she was a nun, then she might have had it 'easier' than others...maybe.

Zaijian (Bye),
Neil.
