Original German postcard featuring “Stoßtrupp” (Assault Troop), reproduced from a painting by renowned German artist Wilhelm Sauter.
The dramatic artwork depicts a group of German stormtroopers advancing through the battlefield during the First World War, with one soldier leading the assault while armed comrades emerge from the trenches. The composition captures the intensity and movement associated with Germany’s elite Stoßtruppen assault units.
The reverse is printed “Der Grosse Krieg” (“The Great War”) and identifies the image as a reproduction of a painting by Wilhelm Sauter. It was published by C. Obpitz Verlag, Beuthen, as No. 8 in the series.
This example remains unused, with no writing, stamp, or postal markings.
