American living in occupied Prague during WWII
I am an amateur historian - and free lance writer. I have come into certain information about James Howell Johnson, Jr. who apparently passed all of WWII in Prague, and perhaps Hungary. Could someone take a peek at his identification cards - some of which are Nazi marked - and tell me what can be gleaned about who he was, and what he was doing? He seems to have been a student, which seems rather odd.

Your image shows a long term (based on i.a. the sticked photo, the railway stamp, and the price of 50 czech koruna´s) students ticket on the tramway route #22 in Prague.bilboleslie wrote:Seventh and final.

Tram 22 follows one of Prague's most scenic routes, passing by the National Theater to Staroměstská and Malostranská metro stations, and continuing up to the Belveder, Prague Castle and Pohořelec, with some stunning views along the way.
The actual plan of the route (in green color, starting above the big caption at left side of the file):

Is a legitimation that he addented the Faculty of Law at the university in Prague as "ordentlicher Hörer". Couldn´t find a translation, (maybe regular listener?) but it means that he visited not just a university course or single lecture.bilboleslie wrote:fifth

Hi Bilboleslie:
Thanks for sharing those documents with us.
Is it just me or are the documents upside-down for others else as well?
Best regards,
Gorque

Re: American living in occupied Prague during WWII
I didn´t find something more precise about this "Alliance of non-german students" on the web, Bill.
Found in the 1939/40 university calendar and staff registry, p. 55, of the university of Wroclaw the following caption:
Can your subject be an ethnic German with american citizenship?
