NAZI GERMANY
ADOLF HITLER PORTRAIT
POSTCARDS
There were hundreds of postcards published featuring Adolf Hitler and the design shown below is a very common one, which can be bought for as little as US$5. The design features a circle with a smiling Adolf Hitler inside looking to the right. This card has the text "Männer der Zeit" Nr. 91 | Der Führer Adolf Hitler" printed on the top left-hand edge of the non-picture side. There are at least 3 different variations: This basic card, a second card issued with additional text to commemorate the union with Austria and a third card with additional text from the GRAZ Gau of the NSDAP.
