Avitas Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 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 http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2012/post-1212-0-97828700-1354396297.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2012/post-1212-0-72727800-1354396342.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2012/post-1212-0-45507800-1354396376.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernhard H.Holst Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
