Packaged by Haus Nortag in Nordhausen (home of Dora concentration camp), the text on the hinged lid says that the contents of the box was a “light, aromatic, finely cut product containing Oriental tobaccos”.

This is a printed metal can that once held 25 Ernst Udet cigarettes. Very similar in construction to the Nortag tin above, this 3/4 x 3 x 4-3/4 inch cigarette box was made to hold 25 Ernst Udet brand cigarettes manufactured by Zigarettenfabrik Lessing & Co. in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The top of the box shows two beneath the name ERNST UDET.
Inside the lid is a picture of the famous member of the Von Richthofen Squadron, World War I Luftwaffe Ace, Blue Max (Ordre pour le Mérite) winner and noted Nazi pilot above a replica of his autograph.
