This “Death” postcard shows Oswald Boelcke in his classic pose of right hand on hip. Below his image is a poem alluding to his death on 28 October 1916. This card is a period Kriegs Karte that was a remake of both a Sanke and a Gustav Liersch postcard.

Oswald Boelcke was one of the greatest of the German aces. He had forty confirmed victories at the time he was killed in late-October 1916. Had he survived into 1917 when better German aircraft became available (especially into “Bloody April”), I cannot even begin to imagine what his score could have been. This card shows Boelcke in his classic pose, with his right hand on his hip. He is often seen in informal photos standing like this. The postcard has been removed from a photo album.

This is a Sanke card of Leutnant Gustav Leffers (1895-1916). After receiving his pilot training and being posted to single seaters in FFA 32 he achieved a total of nine victories and was awarded the PLM in November 1916. He was killed in action a month later. In this studio pose Leffers is standing and wearing his schirmütze. On his tunic we see his 1914 iron Cross 1st Class and his Prussian Pilot Badge. He has yet not been awarded the PLM. The postcard was not mailed.
