Invitation addressed to Kurt Rector in June 1937 for a meeting of the Non-Aryan Servicemen’s Association (or could be translated as Non-Aryan National War League). The invitation includes the order of proceedings: The agenda, welcoming and business matters, reading of the last minutes, admission of new members, discussion, and then a social get-together until 12.30pm after an interval. The organisers expect the punctual arrival of all members. Guests are welcome. The invitation is signed with comradely greetings by Walter Jacobsohn.
Non Aryans would consist of Jews, Gypsy’s and Blacks – highly patriotic Germans who set up their own organization as they were most likely kicked out of the Aryan War Veteran’s league.
