A Soviet postcard / German feldpost
Found this card recently, seemed interesting to me: it’s not such a common thing that a Soviet postcard was used by an invader.
July 3, 1941. The second week of the war in USSR, German attacks are successful, the mood is good and Hans writes a letter to his mother using the trophy postcard. Judging by the feldpost number its 234th Infantry-Regiment, 56th Infantry-Division, XVII Army Corps, 6th Army. I wonder what has happened to Hans Röster later if he was still alive when the 6th Army came to Stalingrad or maybe he was too lucky and even survived the war. Who knows.
I didn’t understand, what was his rank?

And besides I have an issue of Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung from the same date as the letter is - July 3, 1941. Just like an illustration to the card.
