3.1943 - letter, Kroat.Ersatz Rgt.369 to Reich





 11.03.1943 letter from Kroat.Ersatz Rgt.369, 4.kompanie to Aulendorf / Württemberg Kreis Ravensburg, in Germany. The sender is probably an instructor in the Croatian Replacement Regiment based in Stockerau, as noted on the back of the cover. Nice units cancel on the front; there are no visible censor marks on the cover or on the content. The text is in German. This is a very late use of this cancel, as cancels with Fp.number 41700 were already in use.  On 20.04.1943, the Kroatische Ausbildungs Brigade was formed from the regiment.
