Rick W Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I picked this photo and associated documents recently and wondered if anyone could tell me what they are? Thanks in advance. Plus they could be for sale if anyone is interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The second photo, paper on the left translates as an Honorary Certificate for Tennis, think sport is the theme here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks for that Richard, just muddled through a bit of translation and it would seem that they are all sports certificates. After a google search it may be that the person in question, although I think there may be more than one person may have been jewish Hildegard Linnarz. Hildegard is surely a german female. The other writing/name on the other certificates is "I. Mannschaft Sp.Vgg 1867 Andernach" If anyone knows what that means I would be grateful! As for the highly gothic certificates I cant make out the first name, but surname appears to be Vogt. Any suggestions on the first name would be appreciated.

motorfahrer Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Spvg 1867 could read: Sportvereinigung 1867 that means sport association founded 1867 Don't see other documents to Anton Vogt. motorfahrer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ah! I found online a reference to Anton Vogt in the list of Nazi party Officials. I think it was scanned from a book Who's who in the Nazi Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
