    You see the diplomatic passport with the number "G0001" of Federal Germany's first president - Theodor Heuss, from 1955. Back then, in the mid-70s, the man in the chair holding his passport was a young civil servant. He saved this historical document as government officials wanted to shred his passport! CAN YOU IMAGINE? They wanted to dispose of the diplomatic passport of Germany's first president! Luckily, he got permission to keep it. It's unknown where this significant document is today. This story came to light in 2009.
