Hello,
Anybody has any ID docs from the Romanian branch ?
Thanks.
Al
Good evening Gents,
well, I have to admit that I never had a precise look to the documents which were kindly shown by "Ausweis". A very nice assortment of particulary rare ID doc's.
In response to Al's last post: already in post number 2 Mr Ausweis had shown a doc from Romania, actually from Hermannstadt (first two pictures).
However, the main reason why writing this post is the very first doc shown (Post number 1). This Ausweis was for a Bezirksmädelreferent in the Kuratorium. Nice document, no question. But an extremely remarkable point caught my eye:
Lucie signed (and the Ausweis is also issued to) HERRMAN-OVA. We know the femals in the slavian languages had the ending "ova". However, Lucie as Bezirksreferentin was surely Volksdeutsche, meaning she rooted in the German part of the "Czech population" - why in God's name she signed with "ova"? And then so extremely odd with a dash in between? Did she realise the German star was sinking on all front lines and she remembered how her surname was before the Germans took over in Bohemia and Moravia?
Also, the entire Ausweis was bi-ligual, despite being issued in 1943. Even the stamps were in both languages!!!

P.S.: Mr Ausweis, a quick question: do you have any HJ ID cards from Auslandsdeutsche, which are exactly in the same style like the normal HJ Ausweis documents? Maybe with even visible "Reichsdeutsche Jugend Ausland" triangle on the photo?
