U.S. G.I. Dressed up as a German?
The back of the photo wrote Feb 10, 46. Is that mean taken in 1946, or just a mistake?

I would think that is the date the picture was taken. There was a large occupation force in Germany at the time. Due to the harsh conditions the civilian population were experiencing at the time, there was a huge black market trade in 3rd Reich items as it was known the GI's would buy such items as souvenirs.

Bob,
Agree. That is probably the most likely scenario and not a concern but a good observation by YouthCollector.
The top of the boards show some age but the underside are clean and minty.
Everyone......thanks for all your help. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
And Hal.....love the pic. Took me a second to realize it was a GI. Saw the pic and replied before I read the letter......However if it was a real German soldier it would have been VERY FUNNY that he was smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!
