Hello there fellow collectors. I have a project for those of you fine people who can read German handwriting. I acquired this nice DAF book that goes right through 1944 but I can't decipher much about it. If anyone can translate the writing and details it would be really cool. Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Pat

Hello Pat:

Thanks for showing these. As you know the DAF or Deutsche Arbeits Front became the huge umbrella Labor Union in Germany after the separate labor unions were dissolved . The head was Dr.Robert Ley, a suicide in Nuremberg at the beginning of the trials.

1. the first two pages of this membership booklet shows particulars of the person to whom this booklet belongs, a Mr. Paul Neumann, no profession indicated with the birth dates etc. , the second page gives his profession as Obering. or Senior Engineer.The third indicates prior membership in other unions.

2 and 3 : shows the membership dues as paid by the stamps inserted, a German method to indicate dues paid up or not. Also an entry that due to some arrangement his membership dues are reduced.

I hope this helps,

Bernhard H. Holst

Thanks Bernhard,

I have a couple of these DAF books now, maybe the start of a new line of collecting for me. In the past I have stayed away from paper items but it is interesting to decipher the stories that are attached to the books.

Later,

Pat

      Sounds great other than the Orange & Mango squash only because I prefer cran-pomegranate juice.

      "(...) disgusting herbal concoction (...)" I took note of this description, to enrich my otherwise limited, English "Wortschatz"...

      At work the standard indian tea such as PG tips is referred to as chimp tea. This goes back to the days when we had a Spanish girl working for us whose command of the English language was extremely limited. One lunch she said she was going to the shop could she get anything. I asked if she could get a pack of tea bags. She returned with some disgusting herbal concoction. I tried to explain what was required but without success. I then remembered PG tips had a picture of a chimpanzee on the packe

      When I read Lapsang Souchong i decided to post something about these Tea . Many years ago I dont  know about Lapsang until I read James Michener book Centennial and the description of the savour of the Lapasang as a mix of tar and salt & smoked made me proof . It was exact ! and i liked it since then .

      I have been known to drink Lapsang Souchong and Tea, Earl Grey, Hot... both "without pollutants". I normally have one mug of coffee in the morning, then spend the rest of the day drinking Orange & Mango squash (by the pint). Then evening comes and it's a pint, followed by red wine with dinner and sometimes a drop of Laphroaig afterwards.
