  • Early feldpost Jarecki

    10th September 1939 10th September 1939 1/1 Early WWII feldpost postcard (without FPN number) depicting a picture by artist St. Jarecki, titled 'Czarujace Tony' (Enchanting Tones). Ref. 10.09.1939 The postcard above displays an example of a 'tactical number' before the date, in this case '45'. This number has nothing to do with the actual identification number but is the corps or division number. These three-digit numbers were most often identical to the numbers of the divisions in action. In this case it could be XVII Armeekorps 45. Infanterie Division or XX Armeekorps Infanterie Regiment 45. Unsure of how these would be identified.

  • Repatriated Persons

    5th September 1939 Ausweis für Rückgeführte 5th September 1939 Ausweis für Rückgeführte 1/1 Identification card for repatriated persons. Issued by the NSDAP in Gau Thüringen, Regional District of Erfurt. Featuring the facsimile signature of Deputy Gauleiter Heinrich Siekmeier. ID card for those returned from the Thuringia Gau of the NSDAP. State of Thuringia/ Reg.Bez. Erfurt. Issued to Maria Schaefer, born on 26th December 1897. The owner of the ID card was evacuated from her home community in Saarland to the so-called 'Bergungsgau Thuringia' shortly after the start of the war because of the threat of French attacks. Cards of this type served the evacuees as ID cards in the 'repatriation' areas. The Saar Offensive is the name given to the French assault on western Germany from September 7th–16th, 1939. In September, 1939, German forces were largely concentrating on fighting and defeating Poland, which at that stage was still an active adversary. While they were so engaged, French soldiers made a somewhat hesitant advance on to German soil. The attack was not a success, and by the end of the month, the French forces had been withdrawn.
