Hi,
arrived this WE;
It is a HJ Landdienst postcard.
Ok, it is not in a well preserved state, but for 1,80€ I'm not goiing to be fussy about it.:nono:
Look for yourself and decide if it was worth the effort of getting my hands on it.
On the backside (dated 1944) is written something but I'm unable to read it,:001_unsure:
so help in this regard would be most welcome.
Thx

I get "zur Erinnerung an meine Lehrhofzeit" (in memory of my time at the Lehrhof). Although having said that, there is something between the 'f' and the 'z'. I would still go with "Lehrhofzeit" though.

That would make this person someone who trained at one of the Landdienstlehrhöfe. These schools were introduced by order in 1941 and had to be up and running by March 1942. They were part of the system that trained and produced young farmers who, it was planned, would farm the conquered territories in the east.
 
Hello Mike,

the exact location is "Nimkau", Niederschlesien. Today Miękinia, Poland. This city is located near Breslau (Wrocław).

Best Regards

Eric

Hi Lauri,

seen this not that long ago on ebay, I think I forgot about it and didn't bid on it, my mistake.
Nice catch, congrats
