Here's an interesting grouping I recently acquired to members of the same family (Ackermann) who resettled in Germany from Estonia, in 1941/42.
The Rueckkehrerausweis is I believe to the grandmother. She relocated to German from Reval (Tallinn) in 1942. Since Estonia had been occupied by the Soviets in 1940, the country of her birth is given as Russia. Notice the SD approval stamps. Also, the payment of 6 RM for relocating, as detailed on the reverse of the Ausweis.
The second item is the Umsiedlerausweis which I believe is for her grandson. It is dated January 1941 (prior to the German invasion of the Soviet Union).
The final document in the grouping is the Heldentod Urkunde for the grandson. As a member of Heeres-Pionier-Bataillon 746, he was killed in 1943 whilst fighting in the east.
Although, I've seen a few photos of Rueckkehrerausweis and Umsiedlerausweis on the web, this is the first time I've personally had such items. Very interesting IMHO.
Best,
Toby.
