I think the lion head shown on one of the cards is the emblem of the Ritter Von Epp Freikorps.

Glad you like it Mike.
A change seeing it's humans on the receiving end this time versus poor defencless animals...Joaquin Phoenix narrates a great eye opening documentary called 'Earthlings' regarding the subject for anyone interested in their cause.

Here's a early-on WWI field posted card that looks like a trip out of a opium den.
Dated Dec.4,1914

Maybe this has to do with french occupation of the Rhineland using black troops during the treaty of versailes.

My translation from google and if I read the letters correctly (a big maybe).
If anyone can correct or improve I'd welcome that.

The black disgrace
So a French artist represents the
rape of the breed.

Printed on reverse: 'hamburgischen landesverband gegen die schwarze schmach'.
According to google translate:
?? federation against the black ??

Good question! Maybe it's just symbolic of deception, or an anti Semitic reference.

I'm hoping this item coincides with the field flier unit art on the bottom of page 67 of the thread.

I attempted a google translate but it wasn't making too much sense.

With the prop and bomb remarks, 1925 weimar republic date, along with crashed out Ikarus... maybe a reference of germany losing it's air power during treaty of versailles.
Only an interpretation on my part based on the art and could be way off base.
Any additional thought or correction welcome.

On reverse artist signed and ink stamped bammlung Heeren?? (army collection??)

The cancellation date on this one is illegible.
There's about 20 signatures on the reverse.

Berlin publisher. Posted 19/5/13 with brief correspondence.

Hung at one point and thought the runes and hakenkreuz above the arched door were cool.

Maybe peasants having a solstice fire but that's only a guess.
I'm not familiar with the symbol at the top either.

I'd love to know what the crossed horse heads represent...It's seen in art, pins, medallions, and on old architecture (especially peaks of roofs).

Feild posted 1/11/1917 and appropriately marked with a Minenwerfer-Ersatz-Regiment inkstamp...(motar regiment)??

Who knows... maybe the sketch/artwork was done within the regiment.
