A German Blood Certificate^{[citation needed]} (Deutschblütigkeitserklärung) was a document provided by Hitler to Mischlinge (those with partial Jewish heritage), declaring them deutschblütig (of German blood).^[1] This practice was begun sometime after the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, and allowed exemption from most of Germany's racial laws.^[1] The certificate was conditional, and had a clause stating that it would be reconsidered after the cessation of hostilities.^{[citation needed]}

Mischling is a term used during the Third Reich era in Germany to denote persons deemed to have partial Jewish ancestry. This word literally means “mixed”.

In order to join the Nazi party and get a certificate, the candidate had to prove through baptismal records that all direct ancestors born since 1750 were not Jewish, or they could apply for a German Blood Certificate.

These certificates are 8-1/4 by 11-3/4 inches with a signature on the front and the red seal of the Office of Racial Research on the NSDAP. The back side lists the ancestry history back to the grandparents of the father and the mother.

This form of clemency was given to those whom Hitler judged to look and act like persons of “German blood.” Such a declaration freed a Mischling from most racial laws and allowed him to call himself deutschblütig in identification papers."
