This is another unusual item which showed up at the flea market yesterday. It is a series of 8 postcards as well as a document dated 1942 from Knights Cross winner Hauptmann Jakob and is possibly directed at Hitler Youth.

Very interesting! I have never seen these anywhere else until now. I have 2 of these sets in the original packaging also sent in 1942 from Neustadt. I have this one from Hauptmann Jakob and one from Hauptmann Ketterl (picture attached). The cards are different and if anyone wants I can post pictures of those as well.

Here are the photos of the cards. My guess is that there was probably an office in Neustadt that handled "fan" letters from youngsters and sent these packages to them.
