14.06.1943 feldpost card mailed from a Croatian soldier to home in Cernik near Nova Gradiška in Slavonia, Croatia. Card is written in Croatian, text is usual greetings, ordinary Croatian postal card was used, clear arrival cancel Cernik is from 12.07.1943. Soldier hasn't written his feldpost address and units cancel is illegible hence it is impossible to find out from which unit it was mailed. The only clue is a red censor cancel , SS-Gepruft used by the SS. The sole SS unit active in Croatia in June 1943 was 7.SS division Prinz Eugen and this card was almost certainly mailed from it, other SS units like 13. Handzar and SS police were still in formation then.
