Hallo Gents,

I picked this item up here in Romania recentlyits an envelope that when opened correctly reveals a message from the "Offizerkameradschaft Groß-Berlin, Wittlesbacher Str. 18

The original owner has opened it like a normal letter to see the contents, which is a small card upon which is written:-

Offizier-kameradschaft Groß-Berlin 1944

Mitglideskarte:- No 00143Can anybody figure out to whom the item was originally sent?

Hello Kevin.

The envelope indicates a request to forward (Bitte nachsenden) which it most likely was.

Addressed to Herrn F...? Oberlt.d.R. Werner Fechtmann, followed by what may well be his home address. It seems a request for renewal of his membership in the officers association.

As Bernhard said, its the man's membership card .... with a correction. The address is:

Herrn Rechtsanwalt Oberleutnant der Reserve

Werner Strathmann

Berlin Charlottenburg

Gentlemen,

many thanks for your help with regards this, any way to follow up on the officer and learn who or what he did as a military person (am I right in thinking he possibly had service in WW1 seeing he is in the Reserve in 1944, or is that jumping the gun a bit?)

PS: the newsletter on the inside of the evelope, printed pro forma style is finished as:

Heil Hitler!,
