Beautiful card mailed from Russia (Crno more - Black sea) in 10.1943 to Zagreb NDH. Mailed from Fp.52892 5.-Batterie gemischte Flak-Abteilung 172 a known Croatian Flak unit. It proves that Croatian Flak Legion was active on the Russian front in 1943 . Unit was probably reformed in 1944 and not newly formed as i wrote earlier. Written to a former commander of the unit Lt.colonel Nikola Ježić , text states basic conditions in a unit (we are all well...) without stating anything a censor would delete.
I bought this card in 3.2020 but it was lost in mail during worlds first corona lockdown. luckily i still have this pics.. i refused a refund from a seller and bought rights to publish this pictures
I allways find it interesting to research about people who were senders and recipients of mail. Mostly there is nothing to be found... but sometimes i get lucky.
Lt.colonel Nikola Ježić was commander of 1st air command in Zagreb. I found his picture in magazine 'Hrvatska Krila' and his article in same magazine about air defence alert service .
