Kriegsmarine Interesting Feldpost envelope

[Gordon Williamson]

Picked up from EBay for the princely sum of 10 Euro

The interesting part is the source, simply shown on the nevelope as M 50759 (=Werkstattschiff Neumark).

Neumark was no ordinary non-descript workshop ship however. She was in fact the Auxiliary Cruiser Widder. After her successful war cruise during which she sank 10 enemy ships, she was re-allocated as a repair ship, serving, amongst others the battleship Tirpitz.

Great find, Gordon! eBay has become a favorite hunting ground. It seems that most of the really good items are sold at either way-over or way-under market value. It's always satisfying to acquire such a nice item at a fire-sale price.

Best Regards,

Erik
