Wehrmacht Food Stamps for a Soldier on Leave - Third Reich, World War II

A unique and authentic historical document from the period of World War II – food stamps issued for a German Wehrmacht soldier during his leave. This extraordinary relic constitutes a tangible trace of the supply and logistics system of the Third Reich, showing the everyday life of soldiers behind the front lines.

Food stamps (German: Lebensmittelkarten or Urlaubsscheine) were a key element of rationing in wartime. Copies intended for soldiers on leave allowed them to collect food rations at their vacation location, away from their home unit. They are a fascinating object of study for historians, military collectors, and those interested in the realities of life in the Third Reich era.

Collector value:

  • Authentic historical document: Original artifact from the era, carrying museum and educational value.

  • Rarity: Such disposable prints are hard to find in good condition today.

  • Historical context: Illustrates a lesser-known aspect of a soldier's life – the organization of leave under conditions of total war and a shortage economy.

  • Ideal for a collection: An excellent addition to collections dedicated to World War II, the Wehrmacht, the history of everyday life, or military philokarty.


The item is offered in a condition consistent with its age and utility nature (it may show signs of folding, entries, stamps). It is more than just a piece of paper – it is a tangible fragment of history that has survived to our times.
