Hi Ausgang,

The ration card in question is a clothing card for girls between the ages of three to fifteen.
I collect a lot of German "Home Front" items, and have quite a few ration cards for clothing for males/females of various ages, petrol, milk, eggs, bread and tobacco products.
There are also ration cards for soldiers on leave for various lengths of time; and sadly "special" ration cards for Jewish people.
I believe the German war-time rationing system must have been quite complex!
Would like to see an English language website or book which could inform me more about German and British rationing during WW2.
Any links or ideas anyone?

Best regards,

John
