x2 Excellent very decorative Reichspost Telegrammes and the Reichspost Envelope. The telegrammes themselves are huge, (21 x 29.5cm = 8.25 x 11.6ins) in outstanding condition, and quite amazing when you consider that this was War time. Germany was about to embark on the invasion of Russia and had Europe firmly in it's grip, (telegrammes are dated 14th and 15th June 1941).
The Telegrammes were sent to the newly married Freda and Oberfeldwebel (Staff Sergeant) Fritz Urban congratulating them on their marriage. The envelope that they must have come in is somewhat the worse for wear but still good with the German Eagle in the top left hand corner.
A rare and unusual find, quite clearly showing the German confidence at the time.

Two German POW letters written by the same man on 4th March and 1st April 1945. The letters were sent by Josef (Pepi) Vrbka (Nr. 31G 727354) to his parents and are quite touching as he explains how much he misses them and his wife. In one letter he actually asks his father to paint the garden shed door green to stop it warping! The letters appear to have been sent from US Army PWTB France and stamped Base 1057. There is a pencil line drawn through the Reumannplatz address on one envelope and a wavy line through the address on the other and the corrected address is written in pencil beneath. It must be presumed that the house at the original address was possibly bombed or destroyed. Interestingly these letters were written in the last few days of the War and I can only assume that Pepi was captured by the Americans in France or Germany itself.
There is some light blue water staining on the paper which can be seen in the detailed photographs but all the writing is neat and clear.
Jewish Stars of David x 50 in original cardboard Package.
A brief explanation of the Stars.
I just recently completely opened the cardboard package (which was already partially opened) and discovered these x 50 Stars of David inside. (One flap of the package came lose when I opened it). The package has the words `Feldpost`printed on it and the words (written in pencil) "Rasse Kennzeichen "J" 50 Stk" trans. Race Identity Label "J" 50 items". I got them in Austria a couple of years ago from a guy who found them in a chest of drawers and who was panicking about the newest Draconian Laws in Austria about owning or selling anything that related to the Nazi period so he just wanted to get rid of them. I acquired them from him and just stuck them away and forgot about them at the time to sort out at a later date.
