Inside the front cover is shows that this is Diplomatic Passport number 555 good thru 7 March 1945 and issued for Mrs. Mathilde Kleindienst, wife of Konsularsekretär 1. Klasse Alfons Kleindienst, and listing his sons Alfons Jr. who was born in Washington DC in 1930 and his son Rolf who was born in Chicago in 1936. This Nazi Diplomatic Passport was issued on 8 March 1943 over the signature of Rödiger by the Auswärtiges Amt or Foreign Office of Grossdeutschland.

Pages 2 and 3 contain pictures of the pretty wife of diplomat Kleindienst and his eldest son and a description of Frau Kleindienst. Pages 5 and 7 contain two different visas valid for journeys from Kleindienst's diplomatic post in Paris to Germany. The second visa replaced the first in February 1944.

Every bit as interesting as this Nazi Diplomatic Passport is the fact that Alfons Kleindienst was a career diplomat who was serving in the United States at the time of the German declaration of war in December of 1941, so he and his family were incarcerated in the luxury of the Greenbriar Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia until they were exchanged for American diplomats and their families in 1942. Kleindienst served in both Paris and Berlin during the rest of the war.

After World War II he served his country as German Consul in New Orleans, Washington DC and Chicago before retiring in 1963. He died in 1967 and is buried in Amberg, Oberpfalz, Bayern. One of the sons named in the passport returned to his birthplace in the United States after World war II and the other remained in Germany.

This example of a rare Third Reich Diplomatic Passport is in excellent used condition.
