Hello all,
Among my collection of paper items I have several feldpost letters from different individuals serving in various parts of the world.
One is a string of letters sent weekly from a man serving in Western Europe in 1944-45, and several letters from another individual serving in Russia in 1943-44.
I also have several letters from different individuals who served in various areas throughout the war years.
However, have any other collectors on the forum come across the phenomena of green ink?
All the above letters are written in what seems to be a vivid bright green ink.
These letters are a very small minority in the collection, and I can only guess that this is a chemical reaction that has occurred over the years and the letters were originally written in blue or black inks which have turned to the bright green colour over the many years since they were written.
Can anyone shed any light on this subject, or perhaps green ink was used commonly during the Third Reich period?
John.
