Pre-War German Postcards

[Steelhead10]

Hi All,

Found these at my local antiques shop today tucked away. I Picked them up so I could eventually add them to some of my displays.

Only one has any writing one the back that I can't quite make out other than it looks to be "Mannheim". This is written on the back of the one where a leg is appearing from the left. The one with the podium is a much smaller lone photo with nothing on the back but was included with the postcards.

I am assuming that they are pre-war due to the first war Stahlhelms.

Hi Matt.

Great postcards, thanks for sharing them with us.

The writing on the rear says - 3. (mot) Pi 33 Mannheim which would be be 3./(motorisiert) Kompanie Pionier Bataillon 33.

Motorisiert = Motorised

Established after the occupation of the Rhineland on 16 March 1936, garrison Mannheim.
Pionier-Bataillon 33

Kind regards,

Will.
