Fellas,
Does anyone have any good scans of the average Civilian ID document that would have been carried by Dutch Civilians during occupation? Are there any good sites that have info. on these?

Thanks,
Jon

I have one at home. I will post a picture tomorrow. Right now I am at my work and will be home late.

This documents were called: Persoonsbewijs

On the document was a picture and fingerprint besides personal details. Mine is from a woman whose son was in the army fighting against the german invason in 1940. I also have some things of her son. I do not know where you can find info on these doc's. In Holland I see them regularly at fairs.

Volkbert,
Scans of the document would be awesome. Do they usually run expensive over there?

No they are not expensive. I paid for 40 Euro for the whole group:

Civilian ID doc in nice protective cover
Dutch soldiers buch
Picture of group dutch soldiers
Erkennunsmarke

I think a civilian doc ranges between 10 en 25 euro.

Jon,

In Holland these civilian ID's are not rare and are not expensive. Main reason of coarse is that most people inherited them from family.

The more special ones are the ones with evacuation-notes in them.
I have for example the complete set of documents that belonged to my grandparents who were evacuated from Arnhem during Operation Market Garden.

If you use google to search for pictures you can find loads of them. try the following link: http://images.google.nl/images?q=per...r=&sa=N&tab=wi
