    Interesting Postcard from former Nazi.

    Ive been on friendly terms with an old German chap for some time now. He translates documents and so on but as to his war time exploits says little. I know he was in the Hitler Youth, I know he speaks Russian and worked for the Americans after the War. I showed him a photo album I have and he looked at it with the aid of a large magmifying glass. He knew all the tanks, planes etc photographed. He said "I have something for you". he took out this Postcard. It was sent by an Aunt to his family. He read out the writing and then gave it to me. Well I thought it an interesting Card especially the postmark. Well heres the Card.
    cheers Robert

        Dave,
        Joachim must be nearing his mid 80's. He had some Elastolin Brownshirts in their original Box which were given to him as a child in 1935 I think he said. He brought them along last Sunday to show me. I see him one Sunday a month. And frankly I dont think he will be here much longer. Next month I will take some photographs of the old gentleman.
        cheers Robert
