Germany / WWII Occupations (1939-1945)

"Field post cover Front - Home with Field post handstamp and date 03.04.42 The sender was in the unit with the Feldpostnr.: 26711 = Staff Pi.Btl.900 At this time the engineer battalion was subordinated to the 90th le.Inf.Div ""Marcks Combat Group"" in the Tmimi area. A so-called ""Palm handstamp"" was stamped off the front and back of the envelope. These handstamps actually violated the regulation..... ""no indication of the place of use"" but this was tolerated by the troops of the Afrika Korps Feldpostbrief Front-Helmat mit Feldpostnormhandstempel und Datum 03.04.42 Der Absender war in der Einheit mit der Feldpostnr.: 26711 = Stab Pi.Btl.900 Das Pionier-Bataillon war zu diesem Zeitpunkt der 90.le.Inf.Div. unterstellt und bei der Kampfgruppe Marcks"" im Bereich Tmimi. Auf dem Briefumschlag wurde ein sogenannter „Palmenstempel"" vorder- und ruckseitig abgeschlagen. Diese Stempel verstie?en eigentlich gegen die Vorschrift.....
