...tsausweis für..? What document this is?

[Kari Lumppio]

Hello!

I am pretty sure someone here can say for certain what kind of document is this. Found from a wreck "crater" in Estonia:
http://pilt.delfi.ee/album/143023/

The photos can be clicked to zoom very close distance. The document paper has been backed up with canvas so it must have been of more permanent nature? Dated 8.8.44 (August 8th, 1944).


Cheers,
Kari

Hello!


EDIT II: I was pointed (another forum) to the word "hersteller" on the document. That would firmly rule out the Identitätsausweis I speculated below. Instead it could be Qualitätsausweis?



One hundred views and no answer? Meanwhile I typed "tsausweis" into AltaVista (~Google).

It seems the title is Identitätsausweis (Identity document) and that the term is from Austria. See:
http://www.ostarrichi.org/woerterbuc...weis&insert=no
(hopefully it works).

If I understood right the site above German word for the Identitätsausweis is Personalausweis.

Is anyone able to show an image of Austrian WW2-era Identitätsausweis?
EDIT: here is example of Austrian Identitätsausweis from 1948:
