THIRD REICH PASSPORT
There are four types of standard passports issued during Deutsches Reich.
Type |
Description |
1 |
Weimar eagle on the front cover but Nazi eagle and swastika stamps on the inside. |
2 |
In May 1936, the Weimar eagle was replaced with a Hoheitszeichen (eagle and swastika) wedged between the DEUTSCHES REICH and REISEPASS. |
3 |
The Hoheitszeichen had been placed at the top of the front cover and passport number perforated all the way through the front and back covers and the internal 32 pages. |
4 |
Similar to type 3, but passport number printed at the bottom of the front cover and on each subsequent page making it much more difficult to counterfeit. |
The internal pages of these passports are all identical and all were issued by the
Polizeipräsident (Head of the Police).
