American Pow Letter Form Query

I collect Canada and know very little / nothing about US items.

I have just got this mint POW letter form that appears to be produced in the US. The imprint reads W.D. P.M.G. Form 112 / 1 December 1944



I was interested in it as it could have been used for any of the allied countries POWs including Canada. I assume that it was one of a series but if anyone could point me to an online source of info for these or even let me know how many issues of this letter form there were it would help a lot

AQ.

I do not know any specific answer, but knowing there are different sizes of POW letter sheets and cards for Italian & German POWs held in the US to write home, I agree with your suspicion that there would be different US-produced forms and editions for writing to prisoners held in Germany.

I have only one of this same form, used very late in the war (in fact so late, by the time it ever got close to Germany, the war was over, if it ever got beyond New York City.) Sent from father to son Harold L Dillon, whose B-17 crashed on November 21, 1944. Dillon survived the war.

Interesting. Hopefully someone will have some definitive info about these pow letter forms.

Your example is similar to but almost the opposite of this one I posted a couple of weeks ago where a POW card did not make it out of Germany before The war ended.
