dedehansen Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Hi Gentlemen, at the weekend I could acquire this postcard on a German flea market. I´m not even sure if it is russian. Please help to translate, every help highly appreciated. Kind regards Andreas Edited November 21, 2015 by TacHel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Andreas It is satirical piece concerning the Ottoman Empire and Greece being on the same side in the Second Balkan War despite their noted antipathy towards each other (in those days it would have been like Israel allying with Iran today). tried Google translate but it is about as much as using recent Russian Federation medals as an investment fund.

dedehansen Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks Paul, I didn´t know the right term. These satirical pieces were used in Germany too. Here a WWI card German vs. Russian. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Are we sure the Cyrillic on the first post card is Russian... Could it be Serbian or Bulgarian considering the Balkan theme? Bulgaria was the enemy of the Greeks and Ottomans in the Second Balkan War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ah the old one of German's impaling babies, It was that sort of propaganda which meant that people didn't believe the atrocities in WWII until it was too late. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
