    Documents, Stamps, and Postcards

    I'm new here, and maybe this website info has been posted here before. If not, you're in for a treat.

    This website is evidently owned by an auction house that specializes in WW2 documents, postage stamps, and postcards. I have not been able to access their homepage, only their archives. I've not been able to access an index page either, and all web addresses must be changed by hand, one digit at a time to access the next pic.

    There are, believe it or not, 19,000 images stored here...almost all of WW2 Germany documents and related items. I just checked and even more images have been added since the last time I went there. There are lots of duplicate images, but also lots of pics on postcards and images of documents you've never seen before or even dreamed of.

    Here is the address.
    http://www.auction-service.com/aukti...p906800001.jpg

    This is the first image in the series. Click the link and you should see a pic of an envelope addressed to Herr Joseph Dunkel.

    To change to the next pic, go up to the address bar and manually change the last digit from 01 to 02 and hit enter.

    http://www.auction-service.com/aukti...p906800002.jpg

    Now you should see another envelope. The last pic is at #p906819000. There are at least a few more there now.

    At first, you'll love me for sharing this website. After you go through 2 or 3000 pics, you'll hate me for showing it to you as you'll become addicted and you'll spend hours there!

    Give me some feedback, and show some of the unusual pics and documents you find there. Also, if you're a computer whiz (I am not!) and can find the homepage or figure out how to change images quickly, let us know. Ammersee

    As of this morning, it seems to go up to 20,102. Everything I clicked on was mostly postcards or letters. couple of newspapers and posters. No "documents", per se, but there are probably a few buried in there. Very interesting.

      Hi Hank.
      Here are a couple of things I saved to my files from that site. There's a good variety of items. I like the colorful artwork propaganda posters. Just when you're about to give up, you'll hit something good. I went through about 5000 before I finally got burned out. Ammersee
