UNKNOWN POSTCARD PUBLISHER
WEHRMACHT-BILDSERIE
This series of postcards is very typical of the type of postcards that were being published in Germany in the early years of the Second World War. As far as I have seen the series runs from 3510 to 3557 which gives a total of 47 cards, although there may well be more postcards that fall outside of this range. I also do not know who the publsiher is, although the series is titled WEHRMACHT-BILDSERIE or Wehrmacht Image Series.Based on the equipment featured, and the uniforms worn by the soldiers, this set of postcards was likely issued sometime between late 1940 and the end of 1941.

3550: This photograph shows a leichter Zugkraftwagen (Sd. Kfz. 11) a 3 ton halftrack designed to carry troops around the battlefield as well as reconnaisance. Despite the ability to travel over difficult terrain the lack of armour made the Sd.Kfz.11 vulnerable to enemy fire forcing the engineers into a redisgn and the construction of the Sd.Kfz 250 which appeared in June 1941.
