Sterbebilder, Remembrance Card, Josef Lindinger, Heer, 1944
€55.00
Tax included
Rare genuine WWII German remembrance card, of the Sterbebilder type.
The tradition of editing a 'death card' in memory of a serviceman who gave his life for his country dates back to the Great War; just a few dozen of copies were generally printed by the family, being intended for relatives and close friends of the deceased only. Most remembrance cards feature a portrait and a prayer, or any other type of religous or patriotic reference.
Apart from the latter's name and age, the document indicates his branch of service as well as the date of his death and the area where the action took place. For security reasons, the unit and exact location were rarely disclosed.
The present card is dedicated to the memory of some Josef Lindinger, serving in some Heer unit, who died in a Soviet POW camp in December 1944 at 41 years of age. The reverse is adorned with a holy picture showing Jesus on the Cross.
Very good overall condition.
Format: 2.28in x 4in.
