Don't you love it when you sort through stamps and find one that makes you go WEEE !

Here is one I have, MINT too, love the look of it and I am so glad the foreign writing is easily translated.

I am so proud of myself I found out the information myself

I would love to see more war prisoner stamps from you all!

Not a stamp, but a postcard from an Italian prisoner of war, held at the Bairagarh Camp in Bhopal in India, dated April 1946

Have one too. This I guess is from a german POW in America to his family in Germany. Wonder if they have any value?
