Modern WWII-themed souvenir postcard depicting the destruction of Adolf Hitler’s Obersalzberg complex near Berchtesgaden, Germany.
The color artwork combines an aerial view of the heavily damaged buildings with an Allied bomber flying overhead, representing the devastating air raid carried out against the Obersalzberg complex near the end of World War II.
The reverse carries the title “Tea Time Is Over!” and describes the destruction of Hitler’s mountain retreat by Allied bombing. Although the printed text refers generally to the location as the “Eagle’s Nest,” the famous Kehlsteinhaus commonly known by that name survived the war; the extensive destruction occurred primarily within the Obersalzberg complex below.
Produced by WW2Cards.com of Alameda, California, this is a modern commemorative postcard rather than a wartime German issue.
An inexpensive but visually interesting addition to a collection focused on Berchtesgaden, the Obersalzberg, Hitler’s headquarters, or the final stages of WWII.
