Tromsö is the largest urban area in Northern Norway (and the third largest north of the Arctic Circle anywhere in the world). When Germany invaded Norway in 1940, Tromsø served briefly as the seat of the Norwegian government and General Carl Fleischer tried to stop German advances from there. The German battleship Tirpitz was bombed and sunk off the Tromsö island on 12 November 1944 but the city itself survived the war unscathed.

This original Third Style Deutsches Reich Reisepass or German National Passport belonged to beautiful Evy Erlbacher, born in Tromsö in Norway on 26 May 1918.

When this Nazi passport number 11862 was issued on the last day of the year 1941, Evy Erlbacher was a 23 year old resident of Salzburg. According to her passport, she had a medium build, dark blond hair, gray-brown eyes and an oval face. She was married but did not have children.

The 4-3/8 x 6-1/2 inch, 32-page passport issued by the police in Salzburg was valid for only six months, until 30 June 1942. However, page 5 contains stamps showing the visa was extended three more times.



All three one-month extensions were added to this passport in Oslo (Norway) and have very rare Nazi eagle and swastika stamps from the head of Der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD Oslo (the Nazi Security Police and Security Service in Oslo) shown directly to the left and a close-up below.

Page six (left page below) contains a rare transit visa issued at the Swedish Embassy in Berlin making it possible for Mrs. Erlbacher to travel to Sweden in January 1942, on her way to Norway. It was issued under the very specific condition that Mrs. Erlbacher would not participate in political propaganda while in Sweden (a very rare condition requirement!). Page 7 (right page below) has a visa issued by the Head of Police in Salzburg on 2 January 1942 for travel by Sonderzug or special train and ferry to Norway, via Sassnitz on the Baltic island of Rügen. That page also contains a border crossing stamp showing Evy Erlbacher actually did leave Nazi Germany on 6 January 1942 at Sassnitz.

Page 8 contains food ration entries by the Reichskommissar for German Occupied Norway dated 19 May 1942, valid until 9 August 1942.



There is another visa on page 9 (below right), issued by Nazi forces in Oslo dated 24 June 1943. This visa allowed Evy Erlbacher to re-enter Nazi Germany until 26 August 1943 via Warnemünde, the large port city in northern Germany on the Baltic coast. A handwritten addition says the visa was officially extended to 31 August 1943. But, instead of taking the train and ferry, an additional stamp on page 9 shows Evy Erlbacher left Norway on 6 August 1943 by air from the Oslo Airport! Another very scarce passport entry.

We have not found out anything more about Evy Erlbacher's background but leave that to the eventual new owner of this unique wartime Nazi passport. We did find out that the Erlbacher family is still well-known in the Salzburg area.



This rare passport has the original ID photo of pretty Evy Erlbacher. The lower left corner has the correct eagle and swastika rubber stamp of the Polizeipräsident in Salzburg.



The nearly 80 year old Nazi passport is in very nice, well-used condition with fascinating and rare Third Reich visas and Nazi SiPo rubber stamps! There is a little transparent tape on the spine.
