10.1943 Obkoparska dočasnička škola - letter.





 19.10.1943 letter from Karlovac to Obkoparska dočasnička škola u Kamenici na Dunavu. Dočasnik in Croatian equals  German Unteroffizier  which in English is non-commissioned officer(NCO). Obkopar is combat engineer or pioneer. Censor cancel CENZURA-137 was used in Karlovac. Arrival cancel Petrovaradin is at the back. Someone in postal service marked T on cover that the postage due was to be paid, but this was ignored on arrival as destination is military school.

Order from 28.07.1941 regulated formation of NCO schools. Pionirska dočasnička škola was then formed  in Karlovac with 150 cadets , later it was renamed into Domobranska opkoparska škola and  in 1943 it moved to Kamenica na Dunavu. There it was renamed into Dočasnička škola tehničkih četa and had obkoparska sat(company)as part of it.
