This WWII German Reichsnährstand Beitragskarte represents a rare administrative document issued for foreign agricultural laborers during the Second World War. The Reichsnährstand (Reich Food Corporation) managed all aspects of German agriculture, food production, and agricultural labor under Nazi rule. During the war, the regime heavily relied on millions of foreign and forced workers (fremdvölkische Arbeiter) within the agricultural sector. Employers were required to maintain these contribution cards (Verwaltungs-Beitrags-Karten) and affix monthly tax stamps based on the worker’s earnings.
