An exceptionally attractive and historically significant pre-war German identity and travel document issued in Königsberg, East Prussia, on 14 June 1937.
This official “Ausweis für den Verkehr zwischen Ostpreußen und dem Gebiet der Freien Stadt Danzig” (Permit for Travel Between East Prussia and the Territory of the Free City of Danzig) was issued to:
Gerhard Kunkel
Born 6 January 1920 in Königsberg (Pr.)
The document remains complete with:
- Original attached photograph
- Multiple official police stamps
- Revenue stamp
- Original signature of the bearer
- Königsberg police authority markings
- Detailed personal description
- Period validity markings
Particularly appealing is the youthful portrait photograph, showing the 17-year-old holder shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War.
Documents relating to the movement of civilians between East Prussia and the Free City of Danzig are considerably scarcer than standard German identity papers and represent an important period in the increasingly tense political situation of the late 1930s.
A highly displayable and historically evocative pre-war German document.
