Description
Here is your chance to own a postcard with a portrait of Walther von Brauchitsch. Brauchitsch served as Commander-in-Chief of the German Army from February 1938 to December 1941. After suffering a heart attack in November 1941 and being blamed by Hitler for the failure of Operation Typhoon, Brauchitsch was dismissed as Commander-in-Chief. He spent the rest of the war in enforced retirement. After the war, Brauchitsch was arrested on charges of war crimes, but he died of pneumonia in 1948 before he could be prosecuted. No writing on the reverse. In great condition overall will display great. The Wehrmacht was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). The designation ” Wehrmacht ” replaced the previously used term Reichswehr , and was the manifestation of the Nazi regime’s efforts to rearm Germany to a greater extent than the Treaty of Versailles permitted. During the war about 18 million men served in the Wehrmacht . Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
