Guys,

Been out to play today and have got this group.

It is from a young couple, he appears to be a tank man and she and actress.

She enjoyed some success post war I can see from what I have here in the group but rather like her war time pass.

It seems she was at some point married to the you officer and he was injured in 1942 with gunshot wound to the lungs and in 1943 blown up by a mortar round loosing an arm and a leg in due course before dieing of his wounds in 1944.

His young wife writes to OKW to ask permission to be by his bedside to give hime strength to recover from his wounds, he sends her a telegram stating she should under no circumstances visit the feld lazaret.

She then gets a series of letters formally informing her of his death.

She also has a feldpost that appears to at first glance have been written by a childs scrawl but reading into his wounds and eventual loss of his right arm it could be he used his left hand to lesser effect. It is without doubt written by him as it reffers to his injuries and operations.

The whole thing kind of reminds me of the German small series Unser Muetter, Unser Faetter!
