VERLAG DIE WEHRMACHT
DEUTSCHE MARINE KALENDER 1942
SERIES 18-25

This series of postcards (from Verlag der Wehrmacht KG, Berlin) was published as part of the 1942 "Marine Kalender".

On the reverse side, centrally and at the top edge is the word "POSTKARTE". Also in the centre, running vertically from top to bottom are the publisher's details between two vertical lines.

Publisher's Details

The outline of a stamp is located on the top right-hand side and the title and photographer's name on the bottom left-hand edge.
