Hey,
Got this yesterday for free while sorting through a pile of old books and scraps at a local antique store. The owner " wants nothing to do with it". Unfortunately the eagle has been decapitated so...yeah.
My best guess given my introductory German is that its some type of death notice but I may be and am likely wrong.
Anyway, the stamp is obviously kriegsmarine but its attributed to the 17th flotilla and I've hit a dead end on research on the 17th. I also wouldn't mind knowing who signed it.
Any help is appreciated.
