1937 Pre-WWII Promotion Document Signed by Wilhelm Frick Overview

Enhance your advanced manuscript collection with an exceptional, official pre-war citation document featuring a bold hand-signed Wilhelm Frick autograph. Dated September 10, 1937, in Berlin, this official award certificate (Ernennungsurkunde) officially promotes Oberleutnant der Schutzpolizei Johannes Baron to the rank of Hauptmann der Schutzpolizei (Captain of the Municipal Police).

Issued in the name of the German people (Im Namen des Deutschen Volkes) under authority as the Reich Minister of the Interior (Der Reichs- und Preussische Minister des Innern), this document represents a key piece of pre-war civil and police administration history. The document features a crisp, heavily detailed embossed official organizational seal in the lower-left corner alongside a prominent, flowing signature executed in dark ink.

Official promotion citations bearing direct signatures of cabinet-level Reich Ministers are among the most desirable types of rare autographed ephemera for document collectors. Unlike modern mass-produced prints or routine office carbon copies, this original signed WWII document captures pre-war state administration with clear, crisp typography on premium heavyweight paper stock.

Finding authentic pre-war police promotion papers in such clean, preserved condition is increasingly rare for collectors of historical autographs. Whether expanding a museum-grade archival portfolio or adding a centerpiece to a military display, this manuscript offers undeniable provenance and long-term historical value.
