andigger Posted 28 August , 2005 Share Posted 28 August , 2005 Any sense what the writing says? It appears to be Oberst, possibly to identify someone? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malte Znaniecki Posted 28 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 28 August , 2005 Andy and Cnock, it says "mein Ober" and means "my waiter", "my garcon". The man who wrote the postcard was the chief of the canteen.
