Alfred Liberman's Certificate on postponement of his call-up to the army in connection with work at a defense enterprise.

This is the certificate granting me postponement of my call-up to the army in connection with my work at a defense enterprise. It is dated December 1942. I began to work as a builder in the last years of my university studies. At first, I taught construction design in the River Technical College in Kiev. I also worked as a construction engineer and a designer at the Stalin Shipbuilding Works. And when the Second World War broke out, I was sent to the design organization of the Kiev military district. Because of this, I was exempt from the draft. In August 1941 I was transferred to work on the construction of military objects ? plants and aerodromes at the Volga defenses (in the towns of Ulyanovsk, Saratov, Kuibyshev, etc.).
