Germany / China / Israel: A Third Reich Reisepass to Shanghai (1939).

Third Reich (Nazi) German travel pass issued on January 10, 1939, to Walter Otto Israel Loebinger, a German Jew. The document shows Loebinger travelled to Shanghai by sea by way of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Hong Kong. The story has a happy ending with - amazingly - an Israeli entry stamp, in Hebrew, on a Nazi travel document, dated 12 November 1950, two years after the creation of the state of Israel.
