Papers Please! WW2 Nazi German Third Reich NSDAP Proof of Aryan Race Documents

RARE 1935  German “Nachweis der arischen Abstammung” Aryan Ancestry Document –  Stuttgart Tax Stamps, Complete Multi-Page Genealogy
Description:
Offered here is an original 1935 German “Nachweis der arischen Abstammung” (Proof of Aryan Ancestry) document, an important and highly collectible piece of Third Reich-era bureaucracy and genealogy documentation.
These documents were officially required under NSDAP racial laws and were used to prove “Aryan” lineage, often tracing family ancestry  back multiple generations. They became especially critical after the  introduction of the Nuremberg Laws (1935), where proof of ancestry was mandatory for employment, marriage approval, military service, and Party affiliation.

Historical Significance:
These ancestry documents were a cornerstone of the racial classification system in 1930s Germany. Individuals were required to submit documented proof  of lineage (often back to 1800 or earlier) to demonstrate they met the  regime’s racial criteria.
Without such documentation, individuals could face:

Denial of employment in civil service or military
Restrictions on marriage
Loss of citizenship rights under racial laws

Third Reich paperwork
