Description
A rare waterproof ID for the:
Reichswirtschaftsministerium in Berlin on the Reimannstr 21.
Issued to a young lady called Imgard Jacob who worked as a stenotypist.
I have not seen another ID like this, and anything for the RWM is not often found, especially for workers inside the building. This Pass gained her access to one of the most powerful buildings in the NS Regime.
What was the RWM?
From 1933 to 1945 ) the Reich Ministry of Economics was a central institution with whose help the Nazi regime put many of its political goals into practice, for example fighting unemployment, arming the Wehrmacht, promoting the armaments industry, preparing for the war economy as well as the Aryanization of German economic life. By the end of the war, more and more tasks and responsibilities were given to other Reich ministries. The former economics ministers Hjalmar Schacht, Hermann Göring, Walther Funk and Albert Speer were later among the defendants in the Nuremberg trial of the main war criminals.
