Original WWII German Army (Heer) field-issued document dated 14 June 1944, issued “Im Felde” (in the field) by Stabsbatterie, II. Abteilung, Artillerie-Regiment 21. This is a two-sided original period paper relating to racial ancestry verification for marriage approval, a historically significant and increasingly scarce type of Third Reich military ephemera.
This document certifies that the bride of Funkmeister (Radio Operator) Faber, Frau Margaretha Meyer, has provided proof of Aryan ancestry in accordance with German military and racial regulations of the period. Issued directly from a frontline artillery unit in 1944, during the final year of the war.
Signed by an Oberleutnant and Battery Commander, making this an official unit-level certification rather than a civilian registry copy.

Documents like this were required for marriage approval under German racial laws, especially for serving soldiers. Field-issued examples from 1944, tied to a specific artillery regiment, are far scarcer than standard civilian ancestry certificates. Artillery-Regiment 21 saw active service during the later stages of the war, adding further historical weight.
