    Ok it's a membership book for the DAF, he was born on the 10th October 1904 in a towns name i can't quite make out but it ends in "ingen" which are usually in the district of Swabia. His occupation was "Schlusser" which i think is a jailor/prison officer!...I bet i'm wrong though!...

    Can't figure out where he was born, however, he was a Locksmith by trade (Schlosser) and worked at the Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke near Dessau.

    Not a true trade union as such: The DAF was the Nazi-controlled unified labor front. All unions were forcefully disbanded by the Third Reich government, with their place taken by the DAF.

    He used to be a union member, though: On page 5, the book lists previous membership with the Deutscher Metallarbeiter-Verband [German Metal Workers Union] from 16th Jan. 1928 to 31st Aug. 1934 with transfer to the DAF on 1st Sept. 1934 (it is worth noting, though, that the DMV had already been disbanded in 1933).

    The birthplace is Elfringen; that's the German name for Avrincourt (Moselle) in Lorraine. The commune became part of Germany after the war of 1870/71 and returned to France after WWI.
