WWII Nazi German Max Stockhorst Third Reich Document Grouping Litzmannstadt HJ Hitler Youth Document lot

Beautiful 15-piece original German document grouping, all connected to Max Stockhorst, born November 30, 1927 in Berlin. This is a particularly interesting grouping because the documents follow Stockhorst from childhood and school through Hitler Youth era and the Third Reich period, his time in Litzmannstadt, the final months of WWII, and into his postwar vocational education.

The grouping contains numerous official stamps, signatures, Third Reich eagles and swastikas, school records, identification material, and occupational documents. Several pieces provide a continuous biographical trail for the same individual.

Taken together, this is much more desirable than a random assortment of paperwork. It forms a single-person archive spanning approximately 1929–1948, documenting Max Stockhorst from childhood through Third Reich schooling in Litzmannstadt, wartime commercial education, a 1945 photographic identity document, apprenticeship, and postwar professional schooling.

The 1945 photo ID, multiple Litzmannstadt school documents, large eagle/swastika school-leaving certificate, 1937 notarized document, and the continuity of the grouping are particularly strong features.

Condition:

Original used condition with expected age toning, folds, creasing, stains, edge wear, punched filing holes and occasional tears or losses. Some documents show heavier wear from period handling and storage. The temporary 1945 identification document has significant edge wear but retains the original portrait photograph and official stamps. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition.

All 15 documents are being sold together as one historical grouping and should remain together as the personal archive of Max Stockhorst.
