this was issued to soldiers and their families during WWII to allow for airmail. Remember, almost all German transports were smallish twin-engined craft, like Ju-52 and Ju-88, with limited space and millions of soldiers to service. This was intended to give soldiers a space on a transport for their letters or packages.
