Field Marshall Rommel funeral card?

[DouglasDwight]

I was hoping that Forum members could help me determine exactly what this item is? Based on my limited translation skills, I believe that it's a funeral memorial card, or so called "death card," passed out at the behest of Rommel's wife, Lucie-Maria, and son, Manfred.

Thanks in advance.

good

Yes, this card would be sent to someone who expressed their sympathy to the family usually in writing.

These famous remembrance cards have also been reproduced and last week were available on the folliowing website: http://www.usmbooks.com/rommel_death.html

Thanks, Guys. Good info. I think this explains the vintage of this particular item. A nice souvenir piece.
