This Third Reich document grouping consists of four original Nazi IDs issued to sisters Anneliese Schmitt (born 15 August 1919) and Antonia Schmitt (born 26 January 1925). They are the Kennkarte or Civilian Identity Document of Antonia Schmitt, ant the Arbeitsbuch or Nazi Labor Record of Anneliese Schmitt, as well as her German Youth Hostel Association Führerausweis or Leader ID and membership card.

Anneliese Schmitt’s 4-1/8x 5-3/4 inch, 38-page Nazi Arbeitsbuch was issued on 12 November 1938 at Arbeitsamt Nr. 2 in the city of Hamm. It shows that 19 year old Anneliese worked in the administration of fashion designer Elisabeth Schmidt in Hamm and later in a similar position for a company called W. Kücker.

Anneliese Schmitt’s 3 x 4-¼ inch, two-sided Mitgliedskarte or membership card of the Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk Landesverband Westfalen was issued on 24 August 1938.

The original Kennkarte or Civilian Identity Document made of tear-resistant gray Leinen was issued to 17 year old Antonia Schmitt on 31 July 1942 in the city of Cologne. This 4-1/4 x 5-3/8 inch Nazi Kennkarte was valid until 30 July 1947 and still has the original ID photo of pretty Antonia Schmitt, next to her left and right index finger prints. The ID photo is correctly overstamped in the upper right and lower left corner with eagle and swastika Köln police stamps, see photo below.

All four Schmitt sister documents are original to the Third Reich and well used. Exactly as shown.

She was also active as a Leader in the Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk in Westfalen. Her 2-7/8 x 4-1/8 inch, four-panel Führerausweis number 2152 still has the original ID photo, correctly overstamped with the 35 mm round Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk rubber stamp.

On the back panel is a sticker from a Youth Hostel in Vlissingen, Holland but unfortunately no date was written next to it, so we do not know what pre-war year she traveled to western Holland.
