Summary

Description
Deutsch: Militär Propaganda Postkarte des Deutschen Reiches, Litho, Grafik, koloriert aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg „Andenken an den Weltkrieg 1914/15 Kaiser Wilhelm II in Lyck“. Verwundete Soldaten jubeln dem deutschen Kaiser Kaiser Wilhelm II zu, der in einem Auto steht. Die Stadt ist zum Teil zerstört. Eine beschönigende Darstellung des Krieges. Lyck (heute Ełk) liegt in Ostpreußen, war bis 1945 deutsch und ist nun polnisch. Die Karte wurde am 15.10.1915 als Feldpost von Pula (damals Teil des österreichisch-Ungarischen Küstenlandes, heute Kroatien) nach Obermillstatt in Kärnten verschickt. Die Karte stammt von einem Rekruten, der auf der SMS Custoza, ein Seekadettenschulschiff (Hilfsschiff) als Zimmermann arbeitete.
