Saint Card Sent to POW in Stalag VII - Lady Czestochowa
Excellent condition saint card with a picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa probably sent to a Polish POW in a German Stalag since on the back there is a seal from Stalag VII A. Stalag VII-A (in full: Kriegsgefangenen-Mannschafts-Stammlager VII-A) was the largest prisoner-of-war camp in Nazi Germany during World War II, located just north of the town of Moosburg in southern Bavaria. The camp covered an area of 35 hectares (86 acres). It served also as a transit camp through which prisoners, including officers, were processed on their way to other camps. At some time during the war, prisoners from every nation fighting against Germany passed through it. At the time of its liberation on 29 April 1945, there were 76,248 prisoners in the main camp and 40,000 or more in Arbeitskommando working in factories, repairing railroads or on farms.********************This lot will be shipped from our office in Europe********************************
