WW2 Deutsche Reichspost Postsparbuch- Postal Savings Book

WW2 German Deutsche Reichspost Postsparbuch- Postal Savings Book

 

- Rare to have all components to the Postsparbuch survive

 

- First issued in Frankfurt on June 24, 1943 to Fraulein (Miss) Elisabeth Chilla, DOB 02/05/1914

 

- German Postal Savings Book (Both swastikas on the book and card blackened out post WW2)

 

- The account book and the red Ausweiskarte card had to be presented together by the account

owner to make a deposit or withdrawal from an account. The numbers on the front of the savings book and red card had to match.

 

- For withdrawals up to 100 Reichsmark (RM), the yellow Rückzahlungsscheine (repayment slips) were required. For withdrawals over 100 RM, orange Kündigungsscheine were needed.

 

- Every book and card combination came with a supply of orange and yellow withdrawal slips bearing the same account number as the card and book. All transactions were entered into the pass book by date and amount, signed for by a postal clerk, and stamped using the same date stamp that the post office used to cancel postage stamps on letters.

 

- A convenient aspect of the system was that one could get money from, or save money into, an account in any post office in Germany.
