An extremely high percentage (probably 99% or more) of the Kennkarte or Civilian Identity Document issued by the police in Nazi Germany were of the tear-resistant, once folded, gray "leinen" type (shown right) containing a front and back cover and two inside pages. That type of Kennkarte was replaced with a new multi-page version (shown left) when supplies of it ran out in some police offices late in the war. Most police offices never exhausted their supply of the old style document before the end of the war, so they never issued even a single example of the multi-page Kennkarte.

This USMBOOKS web page contains a variety of original Third Reich Kennkarte or Civilian Identity Documents, made of tear-resistant gray Leinen.  They are individually priced, and all 100% original to the Third Reich period in Nazi Germany.  If you are interested in a rare multi-page, late war Kennkarte, click HERE.

When this original 4-1/8 x 5-7/8 inch Nazi Kennkarte or civilian ID was issued by the Head of Police in Lübeck on 12 October 1944, Anna Jense was a 58 year old handicapped widow and qualified for a monthly disability payment and a widow’s pension. Kennkarte number A 42145 was valid until 12 October 1949 and still has the nearly 2-½ inch tall ID photo which is correctly overstamped in the upper right and lower left corner with eagle and swastika Lübeck police stamps.

The Kennkarte comes with two original Third Reich Rente or pension coupons and a typed excerpt of the 1937 Reichsversicherungsordnung, the official Nazi rules and regulations about who, when and how much Rente handicapped people and/or widows were eligible for.

This 100% original 78 year old civilian Nazi identity document and accompanying Third Reich ephemera is in very nice used condition, exactly as shown.
