Few collectors have ever seen one of these German World War II high security identity documents and fewer yet have even the slightest idea about what they are for. During World War II defense industry workers in Germany, like their counterparts in America, were issued fairly complex, non-transferable, hard to alter Identity Documents (IDs) .

These special IDs were effective in controlling access to plants that manufactured strategic products, materials or components. The universal style Defense Plant ID in Germany during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler was the patented Rahmenausweis or metal-framed ID. The outer frame of these IDs is a single piece of thin blued sheet steel, embossed with outlines to make it rigid, which when folded top to bottom and crimped at each side results in a 3 x 4 inch (78 x 100 mm) rectangle containing three open panels. There are two panels on the front side and a single large panel on the back. As supplied by the manufacturer, the frames were stamped below the small panel on the right side with the words “2 D.R.P. AUSLANDSPAT.” This stands for Deutsches Reich Patent Auslandspatent which translates to “Patented in Germany and Abroad.”

Reichswerke ,,Hermann Göring'' Bergbau AG

The rare Rahmenausweis ID we offer for sale here is number *B13 582* for 46 year old Wladislaw Kostrzewa who worked at Reichswerke ,,Hermann Göring'' Bergbau AG at Salzgitter, Germany.

Precisely what Kostrzewa did at the famous factory, we don’t know.

The front side of this ID bears the name of the company, the signature of their security chief, a photo of Kostrzewa above his signature and the issue date 1 July 1940.

Most IDs of this type, including this one, contain backside information that often translates roughly as follows:

PLEASE NOTE!

1. This ID must be shown when entering and exiting the factory.
2. This ID must be carried on the person of the subject at all times while on the job.
3. If this ID is lost, the subject must report the loss at once to the ID office.
4. You must surrender this ID immediately when your employment is terminated.
5. More information regarding IDs can be gotten by reading page 9, number 5 and paragraph 92b of the law regarding rules for workplaces.

This extremely rare identity document is in very good original condition and GUARANTEED to be absolutely authentic unaltered Third Reich material. It is from the collection of Josephine & Ray Cowdery, authors of the full-color Third Reich identity document guidebook, “Papers Please!”
