Dear Jon,

I collect Sanke/NPG/Liersch post cards of the WWI aviators. I have about 340 of them. Is there any in particular you are looking for?

My dad has over 200 original WWI German combat postcards.
What subjects are you looking for?
Here is an example of one of his:

You're in the wrong place for WW1, Jon. Come down to the IMPERIAL Forum.

Don't know whether you mean printed "souvenir" commercial cards, or REAL photos commonly printed in mailable postcard size, but by doing a search on "photos" I'm sure you find many in Imperial.

If you want to see Imperial German royalty or high ranking officers postcards, just let me know.

Best regards

Postcards as Historical Records

Dear "dunkirchen1940";

Postcards not also often present interesting and even valuable photos, but often provide other information, certainly in the case of German Feldpostkarten. The postal stamps and the Absender block of information that was required by Prussian military postal regulations provide a lot of info about units and where they were at a given time.

There is a Working Group on Feldpost in the German post stamp collecting society, which I (almost) joined. They have about 100 members worldwide, including a few in the US. I have contact info somewhere.

A personal plea: I am researching a book on German flame-thrower troops and their linkage to storm units. Any cards in particular to or from the III. Garde= Pionier=Bataillon, Garde=Reserve=Pionier=Regiment, and Sturm=Bataillon Nr. 5 (Rohr), in particular, are of great interest. I of course would be happy to translate the Suetterlin and Kurrent inscriptions of such cards, which are unfortunately usually of the "warm socks, crummy food" variety. A clue: In 1915 Prussian regulations called for addresses be written in modern script, and often not only addresses but place and proper names, even in the body of the text, often are in modern script in a sea of Suetterlin; even confusing German experts.
