1944 WWII German Hitler Youth Documents- Ziegenhain to Deutsche, Reichsbahn, Berlin-Grunewald

Matched pair of original 1944 German wartime administrative documents from the NSDAP / Hitler-Jugend Wehrertüchtigungslager der Flieger-HJ (6) at Ziegenhain, both concerning the same serviceman, Feldwebel Lange, and correspondence with the Deutsche Reichsbahn at Bahnhof Berlin-Grunewald.

These two documents clearly belong together and form a connected administrative file, with the second letter following up on the subject matter addressed in the first. That continuity makes the grouping considerably more desirable than two unrelated wartime papers.

First Document

The first letter originates from the:

NSDAP / Hitler-Jugend
Wehrertüchtigungslager der Flieger-HJ (6)
Verwaltung – Ziegenhain

and is addressed to the:

Deutsche Reichsbahn
Bahnhof Berlin-Grunewald

The letter concerns the financial status of Feldwebel Lange while attached to the camp.

It states that Lange was receiving a monthly expense allowance of 50 Reichsmark, along with approximately 54 Reichsmark in military pay (Wehrsold). The Reichsbahn is directed to contact his military replacement unit regarding his regular salary.

The document concludes with the period political salutation:

“Heil Hitler!”

and is signed on behalf of the camp administration.

A large violet Bahnhof Berlin-Grunewald receiving stamp dated 13 March 1944 appears in the upper-right corner.

Second Document

The second document is dated:

Ziegenhain, 18 March 1944

and again comes from the Flieger-HJ Wehrertüchtigungslager (6).

It references previous correspondence and is specifically concerned with the:

“Ersatz-Truppenteil des Fw. Lange”
or
“Replacement Unit of Feldwebel Lange.”

The document identifies Lange’s replacement unit as:

Fl. Ers. Batl. II – Frankfurt/Oder

The letter is signed by a:

Hauptmann und Lagerführer
(Captain and Camp Leader)

and bears a second violet Bahnhof Berlin-Grunewald receiving stamp, dated 23 March 1944.

Historical Interest

Together, these documents provide a very interesting look at the administrative connection between several wartime German organizations, including:

• NSDAP / Hitler Youth
• Flieger-HJ
• Hitler Youth military-preparatory training camps
• Luftwaffe personnel
• Deutsche Reichsbahn
• Bahnhof Berlin-Grunewald
• Luftwaffe replacement units

The pair follows the same named serviceman through an actual administrative exchange involving pay, assignment, and replacement-unit information.

The documents are especially appealing because they preserve a small piece of wartime bureaucracy as it originally unfolded, rather than presenting isolated paperwork.

Condition

Both documents remain in good original wartime condition with expected age toning, fold lines, punched filing holes, light staining, handling wear, and minor edge wear.

The typed text remains clear and legible, the Berlin-Grunewald receiving stamps remain strong, and both documents retain their original signatures and period administrative markings.

Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition.
