Original Third Reich propaganda postcard featuring the dramatic wartime artwork “Nicht DU bist der Maßstab! Sondern die Front!” (“Not YOU are the standard! But the Front!”).
The illustration, after a painting by Willi Tschech, depicts a German infantryman carrying a wounded comrade from the battlefield, emphasizing sacrifice and duty to the fighting front.
This example is especially desirable because it commemorates the NSDAP Day in the General Government (Tag der NSDAP im Generalgouvernement) held in Krakau (Cracow), 13–15 August 1943. The reverse bears the original General Government commemorative postage stamp together with the official special event cancellation, making it an authentic period postal-history souvenir.
