SS Acceptance Papers

[Stephen Stout]

I wanted to share some SS acceptance papers that I acquired with a massive grouping since we do not commonly see these.

The first two pictures are of his SS-Ahnentafel, which is used to show his family history all the way back to 1800 to show that he is a true Aryan void of any Jewish or "colored" blood (this was a requirement to join the SS).

The second document is to show his enlistment into the SS.

The third document is to show his acceptance in the SS-Standarte "Deutschland."

The last one is a certificate showing his acceptance in the Deutschland Regiment.

I would like your thoughts and if anyone else has such papers to show them as well.

Here is a picture of the soldier when he enlisted in the SS in April 1939 and before he got out of the Waffen-SS in October 1943.
