Originally from Binder II. Personenidentifizierung -- Grundlagen etc., rehoused in folder (b) in the same box. Test papers on the characteristics of different passports, with answers from students. For each test, students had to answer 8 questions about different passports from up to 24 different countries. Because of the wide variety of information asked about each passport, students would have been required to memorize considerable amounts of information, as this information was only a small portion of what they were required to learn overall during their training. Questions on test: Angaben zum Sign. Größe Augenf. besond. Kennz. [information about [...] size [...] particular identifying features] --> unsure what these abbreviations stand for 1) Fotofarbig [color photo] 2) Foto retusch. Integr. foliert [photo retouching integrated (?) laminated] 3) Foto überdeckt durch Stempel usw. [photo covered by stamp etc.] 4) Größe der Paßbilder [size of passport photo] 5) Angaben zu Bartträger [information about bearded men] 6) Abbildstellung gerade/rechts links [image position straigt/right left] 7) Modebesonderheiten/Haar [clothing particularities/hair] 8) Lichtbilder mit guter u. schlechter Qual. [photograph with good and bad quality]
