Return -- No Connection

Here's an interesting one I recently received.

This postcard was sent on 21 March 1917 from Ahrensböck, Germany, to Emma Lohse, a 69-year-old widow living with her son's family in the tiny town of Charlotte, Iowa, population ~400. Frau Lohse had emigrated to the U.S. from her native Germany.

But this postcard never made it. On 6 April 1917, America entered World War I and mail service from Germany was suspended. This postcard was stamped with a box cachet stating "Zurück / Keine Verbindung" (Return / No Connection).

Interesting postcard; Looks like postmark is from Lubeck. Might be interesting to read the postcard, in light of what was going on in the world at the time. My familiarity with the 'old script' is pretty rusty.

Separate subject - if you don't mind, following your conversation with 'modern_who,' could you take a look at the DDR 10pf #447, in regards to Michel entries. See my post 'Reconciling A43 series_1953 and following series.' I checked my 'EZ Stamp' software, which doesn't define it. Would also be pleased if you'd take a look at the question I posed on the A43 series.
Many thanks.
