Description

WWII German death card for Army Gefreiter Corporal FERDINAND HUBER. Born January 24, 1909. Died August 14, 1942.  It measures about 4″ x 5″ unfolded.  It is a double sided, double page card.

Military death cards are notices of the death of a WW2 German  soldier who was killed during the war. Known also as “Sterbebilder”.

Death notices were a common European Catholic custom, normally given or mailed to mourners, family, and friends as death notifications also encouraging mourners to remember the deceased in prayer.  These cards were usually 1 or 2 small pages, either single or folded and printed on both back and front.  These pages would usually have a photograph of the deceased along with his important life information.  Some did not include a photo and many included a religious icon or poem.

In contrast to other death cards the German government would not allow the printing of any WWII soldier’s unit information or a  graphic cause of death.
