 Persil Ticket The term originated in the German military and refers
to Persil washing powder. For example, it was common for army recruits
to have to bring an empty box with them to the barracks in order to send
their civilian clothes home to their family. Boxes advertising the very
common washing powder, Persil, were often used for this purpose. In
soldier's jargon the actual conscription order was also called a
Persilschein. It literally means "Persil ticket". To own or have a Persilschein
is akin to having "a clean bill of health" where the person was said to be
"washed clean" of accusations of Nazi sympathies; "cleanliness" in this
context meaning "innocent".
