DRK Verwendungsbuch – Hamburg

An original wartime Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK) Verwendungsbuch issued to Wilma Elisabeth Warmburg, complete with its original attached portrait photograph and official issue stamps.

The booklet was issued in Hamburg on 22 July 1940 and served as the official service record for personnel employed within the DRK voluntary nursing service. It retains the original owner’s photograph, several official inspection stamps and signatures.

Wilma Warmburg was born on 21 November 1905 in Hamburg and is listed as a housewife (Hausfrau). Her husband is recorded as Reinhold Warmburg, residing in Hamburg-Bergedorf, with no children noted.

The booklet records her physical description, identification details and official registration within the DRK nursing organization. Unlike many later wartime examples, this booklet appears largely unused, with few subsequent service entries, making it a well-preserved early-war issue.

A desirable original DRK personnel document with excellent display appeal thanks to its original portrait photograph and early 1940 issue date.
