German WWII Annual Hunting License (Inlaender-Jahresjagdschein) - Ludwig Haag
A printed identity document titled 'Inlaender-Jahresjagdschein' (Domestic Annual Hunting License), decorated with an oak-leaf border and printed eagle-and-swastika state emblems flanking the heading 'Gueltig im ganzen Reich'. The document is made out to Haag Ludwig, born 18.1.22, resident at Ingolstadt, with validity dated 22.5.1941 to 31.3.1942, bears an applied photograph of a young man with an embossed seal partially over it, an official stamp, and handwritten entries and signatures in ink. The card is housed within a stiffened protective wallet/cover with an ornamental printed border matching the document's decorative motif.
This type of license was issued under Third Reich civil administration to authorize hunting activity within a designated Jagdkreis (hunting district), forming part of the standard bureaucratic paperwork of the period.
Hunting rights in Nazi Germany were centrally regulated under the Reichsjagdgesetz (Reich Hunting Law) of 1934, which brought all hunting activity under state control and required licensed individuals to carry an annual Jagdschein valid throughout the Reich. Such documents were administered through local hunting districts (Jagdkreise) and combined practical wildlife-management functions with the regime's broader emphasis on bureaucratic identity documentation, bearing the state eagle-and-swastika emblem used on official papers of the period. The holder, Ludwig Haag of Ingolstadt, would have been a private citizen exercising a civilian recreational and land-management privilege rather than any military or party function.
