Temporary Ausweis and Rote Kreuz

One of my latest find:

A batch of interesting WWII documents from a young lady who was a student and a teacher during the war. She was sent to an aunt by her father in June 1940 upon the advancing of Gemran troops and survived an exoduis that led her from Montargis to Limoges. Then in July 1940 she was one of the firs tones to return to her school , only to find it occupied by a German front Garrisson. (Germans often used schools) . it was also her home and sh neede dto go ther eon a daily basis which the Germans accepted. There was neither a Kommandantur those days, nor official stamps or markings but she needed an ausweis to avoid being hassled by guards everytime she would go through the gates. Therefore a nice Oberleutnant made a hastely typed Ausweiss and signed it twice to let his men know this lady had the right to pass the guards. It is a rare 1940 July document. The authenticity is beyond any doubt it came with all the other regular stamped documents. It' s the first time I see such a rudimentary Ausweiss.



The second document is also very rare, it's for the same lady and is a safe conduct from July 1940 allowing her to travel home from Limoges. This is a bilingual Ausweiss issued by French occupied Prefecture and countersigne dby the French Gendarmerie and was accepted by Gemran authorities as such...

 

bump..... Shall I carry on or not?

 

If you have more documents, definitely carry on...!!!

 

Ok, check this out; this is a 1944 invitation by a local Resistant group who had a club to honor allied soldiesr after the liberation. They sent invitations to girls who could bring one of their girlfriends as well ( basically this was a large "hunting" place for male soldiers and other men were not invited and this soon let to a bunch of fights with jaleous fiancés in several cities were similar parties were held). What's most interesting is the rare cancelation stamp.

 

Thanks for sharing your finds!
