Kroatische Ausbildung brigade - Fp.41700G (Kroatische Ersatz Regiment 369.)

 


 


 04.12.1942 card to Zagreb from Fp.41700G , Kroatische Ersatz Regiment 369. 

Three things are very interesting abut this card:

 It uses feldpost cancel(Briefstempel) with text 1.battalion Kroat.Ersatz Regiment 369.  although Fp cancels with number Fp.41700 were already in use at that time.

Text in Croatian is very interesting, soldier describes in detail to his family how to mail him a special Christmas parcel . A special card and parcels were issued in 1942 and 1943 to be mailed to soldiers for christmas , they are extremely rare.

Arrival cancel 08.12.1942 Zagreb ,this means that card passed through Feldpost cancel without being censored, which is very rare, also  it gives us time it took for mail to arrive from Stockerau, around 4 days.
