French Translation Help

At least I think it's French. I believe the cover is being sent to a POW ?

It's being sent to the International Red Cross Agency in Geneva, Switzerland that dealt with Prisoners of War. Could be that they were contacting the agency trying to see if they could find someone for them.

I just did a bit of quick reading. During World War II, Romania first sided with Nazi Germany and committed more soldiers to the Eastern Front against the Soviets than all other allies of Germany combined. It wasn't until August 1944 that King Michael I led a coup to otherthrown the facist dictatorship. Romania then switched sides, but that didn't stop the Soviets from taking 130,000 Romanian soldiers prisoner and occupied the country.

Stallzer, it is French with a Romanian accent! If it is possible to write with an accent that is!
