    Default U-boot postcard + 'social welfare' postcard

    Here are two new postcards I just got in. The first is a u-boat postcard & the second is 'social welfare' postcard. They both seem to be of what I would describe as light-weight card stock, lighter than other postcards I have, so not sure if they are originals or not. I only paid $40 for the pair so I was willing to take the risk. The u-boat postcard is the stand-out in my eyes but I am bias of course because I am a commercial fishing boat captain on the Atlantic by trade so naturally I am drawn to oceanic scenes. In fact, the exact ocean bottom where I set my lobster traps was sailed over by German u-boats during WWII & my area had a notable amount of documented u-boat activity during that time. This of course fuels my interest in the Kreigsmarine & the u-boats.

    Hard to be 100% sure they are originals but they came from a well-respected dealer & if nothing else, they look neat!

    Seems both are original. The second one was dedicated to German referendum 1934 (1934 German referendum - Wikipedia)

    @McSeam thanks for the info! The 2nd postcard was listed as a "social welfare" postcard on the dealer's site so I assumed that was correct. I was glad to have this postcard in my collection simply from an aesthetic stand point but now that I know it represents a very significant event in 20th century history, I am even more happy to have it.
