I hope that these pics help as the scanner is kaput!
I am guessing that this ticket is post-war(?) and perhaps this young soldier "had" or "chose" to attend?
I wonder the significance is of "Alpina" Lager-Nr. 30?
Your help with this is much appreciated.
Thank you,

This is a designation from manufacturer of the ticket.
It says type of ticket "Alpina"
"Lager-Nr. 30" means storage box No. 30 in the warehouse of the manufacturer.
This type of ticket is in a resent version still available from various manufacturers:

Yes, because the society "Kinderfreunde" was forbidden between 1934 and 1945 resp. end of WW2. After the war it was again founded.Originally posted by Vilja View Post
I guess the unform was demilitarized and used by a young boy. Maybe by the former soldier after returning from war or by someone else who could "secure" it, for example on the black market.
After the war civilan cloths were not available and usage of former uniforms was very common. This led to some troubles due to misidentification of civilians as Wehrmacht soldiers and finally wearing of former Wehrmacht uniforms was banned.

I have this notice... Came from a cemetary in a bottle. Is it a death notice of some kind? Why bury it?Comment

Guenter,
I really want to thank you for the information supplied regarding the ticket and also for placing it in the historical context of post war Germany.
I was not really aware of the demand for clothing after the war....military clothing being worn by armed forces personal as well as civilians.....and the eventual banning.
You have done much work in your reply....all value added...and I thank you very much.
Sincerely,
ViljaComment

Yes, it gives all kinds of particulars on who, when, where, etc. I suppose somebody put it in a bottle in memoriam.Originally posted by Eike41 View Post
If you use www.leo.de, you can plug in most of the pre-printed words to find their meaning. Fairly easily.
