5th March 1942 Pleskau (Pskov) 1/1 Postcard depicting the Trinity Cathedral within the PskovKremlin. featuring postage stamps from the German occupation (Pleskau - Mi.10,11 &12). Ref: 05.03.1942 Pleskau (Pskov) Pskov is a city in northwestern Russia and the administrative center of Pskov Oblast, located about 20 kilometers (12 mi) east of the Estonian border, on the Velikaya River. During World War I, Pskov became the headquarters for Russia's Northern Front, commanded by Nikolai Ruzsky. On 15th March 1917, aboard the Imperial train, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated here. After the Russo-German Brest-Litovsk Peace Conference (22nd December 1917 – 3rd March 1918), the Imperial German Army invaded the area. Pskov was also occupied by the Estonian army between 25th May 1919 and 28th August 1919 during the Estonian War of Independence when the White Russian commander Stanisław Bułak-Bałachowicz became the military administrator of Pskov. He personally ceded most of his responsibilities to a democratically elected municipal duma and focused on both cultural and economical recovery of the war-impoverished city. He also put an end to censorship of press and allowed for creation of several socialist associations and newspapers. Under the Soviet government, large parts of the city were rebuilt, many ancient buildings, particularly churches, were demolished to give space for new constructions. During World War II, in June 1940, the Soviet 8th Army invaded Estonia and Latvia from the city. The medieval citadel provided little protection against modern artillery of the Wehrmacht, and Pskov suffered substantial damage during the German occupation from 9th July 1941 until 23rd July 1944. The Germans operated a forced labour camp for Jewish men and women. In February 1944, thousands of people were killed during Russian bombings of the city. A huge portion of the population died during the war, and Pskov has since struggled to regain its traditional position as a major industrial and cultural centre of western Russia.

28th October 1937 28th October 1937 1/0 28th October 1937 Sarvar to 27 Queen Square, Bath Dear Madeleine Many thanks for your letter. I have read your book and enjoyed it very much. I love the pictures in it. I think “Northanger Abbey” the best written and most amusing of all the Jane Austin books. Did you notice that in “Persuasion” your Queen Square is mentioned? I would love to see Bath, as I have read so much about it. But now 100 years have passed since Austin’s time and it is probably all changed. I have read so many old English books that I imagine England quite old fashioned and would probably be very much astonished of modern English life. I would love to go to England next year. But I don’t think I shall. I am learning English with Mary. “You are intoxicated by the exuberance of your own lolossity”. That is what she taught me, I am not quite sure as to the spelling. I am sorry the two little cousins are leaving tomorrow. They have stayed here for seven weeks. Miss Wright, their governess who is also here has grown fatter by 12 pounds, Mary too. They all seem to enjoy their food here. Hungarian food is very good indeed. We are as fat as ever, we are used to eat so much. I am very sorry to hear of your Aunt Eileen’s illness, I do hope she will recover soon. How is your Aunt Audrey? I remember them perfectly well. Give them my best regards when you happen to see them. Ludwig has gone to Germany to do his military service. Deidi is due to arrive in two days. Have you ever read any of Robert Hugh Benson’s books? He is a catholic and writes historical novels. I am sure they would do you good. I have just started reading “Come Rack, Come Rope”. I saw Burgtheater, the best German film of the year. It is called after the famous stage in Vienna and is about a young actor wanting a part and a famous old actor who helps him, the actors are Willy Eichberger, Werner Kraus and Hortense Rakey. Verner Kraus is marvellous. I saw him on the stage as King Lear. My love to you and all your family. Loll Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page
