Wanted to share this with you folks, as there are a few things about it that make it out of the ordinary and (I believe) interesting!  It is a passport/ID booklet issued by the Deutsches Konsulat to Yokohama Japan. The two-Axis connection itself makes it unique, but the date on which it was issued  is also interesting: December 9, 1941......Just 2 days after Pearl Harbor was attacked! Do you think maybe the staff of the German Consulate had a clue that things might be getting busy soon?   The Waffenampt stamps are very crisp & clear, the first being dated in '41.  Another interesting thing is that big purple stamp from the "Tokyo International Business & Trade Bureau", which is stamped "June 27,1950."  Okay.....the girl is not bad looking either

     Now I must confess:  I don't read German or Japanese, so when I first saw this was issued by the German "Konsulat" I thought perhaps the woman might be some high-ranking SS or Gestapo person, and started thinking "$$$$ B " for Jim, but when I showed it to a German speaking friend,  she told me there was a word there that indicated she was probably just some kind of domestic helper, like a Nanny or something
