Hallo,

the last page is the most interesting. There is said, that " this is your most important document..."

In GDR times this was true because a passport was not needed exept you wanted to leave the country which was not so easy.

regards

Frank

Thanks Frank thats realy intresting

I am suprised how few of these you see compared to the USSR ones

Order of Victory

I mean blank GDR Passports. Blank ones from Unif. Germany would be illegal.

It is very difficult to say that these Passports are rare.

Compared with the number of people in GDR the are rare.

Compared with the number of collectors they are not.

Regards

Frank

Wow I would love to get hold of a blank one

Order of Victory

All titles of "Vitez" were banned in 1946 (as I recall?) But if your family name was Vitez - they did not want to take that away from you! (Unless you were of German decent in 1946 - then you were deported or you made a new last name and forgot that papa every spoke German to you!) Hungarian names are very interesting and hold much of the flavor of the mideival period. Gone from the language are the "the" before the family name, but the flavor is still thre. The fist passport is Vitez Pal (Pal the Brave) others like my friend Rozsa Viktor (Victor the Rose) Farkas Tibi (Tibi the Wolf) Hegedus Janos (John the Violinist) etc....not all family names hold over the past, but there is a percentage.

Thanks for an intresting piece of information

I've been waiting for someone to comment on the name shown in the "red" passport in post #2--

to my understanding, "Vit?z" was a title of hereditary semi-nobility bestowed under the Horthy regime, accompanied by several military decorations.

????

Wow I never knew that

Thanks Rick
