Description

WWII German death card for Cyclist Squadren Soldier KARL BRANDL who died in a Field Hospital on December 29, 1941 at the age of 20.  Measures about 2.5″ x 4.25″ unfolded.  It is a single sided, one 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.
