Here's a neat one I recently found on ebay. The letter was sent from Obergefreiter Resk, who was serving with Nachrichten Aufklärung Auswertestelle 8 (8th Signals Intelligence Evaluation Center) on the Eastern Front.
It's addressed to Frau Luzi Resk in Feldbach, a suburb of Stuttgart.
PostmasterGS that is one awesome cover. I have been digging through US material lately and neglecting this area of my collection. Makes me want more hours in the day.
For me, the person who was born and raised in USSR in the area occupied by Nazis, WWII is always a fascinating subject. But things like this covers, which shows soft, almost girly like side of German solders, are so cool. I wonder if this Obergefraiter is a female.
We had a similar fellow in Western Australia, he was British and missed home and his girlfriend very much.
When I began collecting, I had a chance to buy one of his covers for $25, I thought it outrageous, but have kicked myself ever since. They are now very valuable.
I have images of about 60 of his covers (known as Appleby Covers)
