Thanks

there's a story behind #6 of some sort. Does the book have stamps at the back at all? Any other information within it? That guy was slightly connected.Comment

Name looks like Franz Kreuzer? There are stamps dated 1939 to 1944. Do you have any info on this man?Originally posted by McCulloh View PostComment

Here's mine, as well as a letter from the local Party authorities returning his proof of ancestry documents, which I find interesting. I also have his Wehrpass.

why #6 is unusual
#6 is interesting because of the "date" of party entrance.
Technically the NSDAP was closed to newcomers as of May 1933. Exceptions were made for "special" people(often politically connected or other elites) and for members who were active leaders or staunch members of affiliated party organizations (NSBO, SS, SA, DAF etc.).
In Feb. 1933, there were 1.2 million books issued but only 850,000 active members. After the March elections over 1.5 Million application for party membership were received. It took years to work through this backlog.
After May 1, 1933 the party opened itself up to new membership only a few more times (1937,1939-1942,1944) and there were frequent purges and demotions.
The entrance date of 1935 with a lower than expected number means one of two things:
1. This guys paperwork got held up at the local party HQ for years (which did happen as the local Kreisleiter then took the dues money) OR
2. (and I think this is the case here) the applicant was locally important and a member of an affiliated NSDAP organization. It would not surprise me at all to see that this guy was on the local village council or an ex provincial Stahlhelm Leader of some sort.
It's unusual, but not rare.Comment

Old thread but a new interest
Can anyone suggest a value on these in the current market? Contribution Stamps from 38-43 virtually full pages.
Female photo membership number just under the million mark.
Value- $150/$200, more or less?Comment
