This is a WW2 Era Letter written by a German POW in 1946. The POW camp he was at was Depot 11 in Barlin, France. The soldier was an Unteroffizier. The letter was addressed to his Aunt who lived in Poland. The translated letter is down below
“Dear aunt, [Marles, Sep 3, 1946]
For one and a half year I am without any message from the parents. Mother fled to Mies (Stříbro, Czech Rep.) when the Russians invaded.
M. Ossadnik at Goller family; Adolf-Hitler-Square; West-Sudetenland.
Father was mustered for the Volkssturm. Do you maybe know their current living place? I sent a couple of letters to you that always stayed unanswered. Postal service to Czechoslovakia seems blocked. A couple of letters to the Goller family stayed unanswered, too. Is the postal service opened from Poland? In hope for a soon response. Warm regards,
Günther”
