Just got this interesting "Staatsangehoerigkeitsausweis" signed in the name of the Polizeipraesident of Hamburg . Interesting in the sense , that I always thought everyone carried a passport and I have never seen this type of document for citizenship .

Close-up of the upper section.

The docoment is made out for a Max Henry Rathig , living in Hamburg-Langenhorn I , born on 9.Juli,1880 in Hamburg .

The document is dated 27 April 1942

I can't make out that signature , but the cancel looks nice .

The dacument was 'free' and was registered.

I mean " Document . Here the signature again . See what you can make out !!
