EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant wartime postcard, dated back to the early 1900s during the first World War, depicts a sentimental message from a German soldier to his beloved one in Munich. The soldier, dressed in his military uniform, holds a cigar in his hand and poses with a bouquet of flowers, wrapped in a French flag ribbon. The reason behind the soldier's cigar and the unusual inclusion of the French flag ribbon remains a mystery. The handwritten text on the postcard reads, "You, Only you alone are my true love," expressing the soldier's deep affection and longing for his sweetheart. The green background adds a sense of tranquility and contrasts with the soldier's uniform, highlighting the juxtaposition of war and love. The historical significance of this postcard lies in the sentiment it conveys, as it serves as a reminder of the human emotions and connections that endured even during the harsh realities of war. The image of a soldier expressing his love through a simple postcard is a testament to the power of human connection and the enduring nature of romance, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The intricate script and delicate details on the postcard further emphasize the personal and sentimental nature of the message, making it a precious keepsake from a bygone era. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical events of World War I and the enduring power of love.
