Adolf Heusinger: Started in 1915 under the German Empire. Stayed on after WW1 and rose to command in 1938 for the wehrmacht. Went on to serve with West Germany.
Hans Speidel: Similar story, possibly involved in a coup.
Johannes Steinhoff: Fighter ace during WW2, flew through the whole war with 176 victories. The Luftwaffe was comparatively treated very well due to their treatment of allied soldiers. Most Luftwaffe members were not punished for the war.
Johan von Kielmansegg: Joined in 1926 under the Weimar Republic. Served with the general staff at the Prussian Military Academy, and was the General Staff officer to the Wehrmacht high command. Possibly involved in a coup.

It is generally the state’s responsibility to maintain and issue identification cards and liscenses.

America created the Social Security number and kind of gave up.
