This is a postcard of the Battleship S. M. S. Kaiser Friedrich der Große. She was commissioned in 1912 and was a part of the four-ship Kaiser Klasse. She saw extensive service as part of Battleship Squadron Nr 3, including the Battle of Jutland (Skagerrakschlacht). She was scuttled in 1919 at Scapa Flow along with the bulk of Germany’s newer and larger ships. The postcard is very decorative. It includes a kriegsflagge in its upper left corner and patriotic sayings. The postcard was issued for the German Red Cross’ benefit. It was never mailed.

This is a postcard of the Battleship S. M. S. Rheinland. She was commissioned in 1910. Along with her three sister ships of the Nassau Klasse, she formed the I Battleship Squadron. She fought at the Battle of Jutland (Skagerrakschlacht) and suffered one hit from British gunfire. Interestingly, she had four turrets: one in the center afore-ships and one in the center astern, then two off-center on the port side, an interesting arrangement. She is seen steaming in profile from the port side. The postcard was never mailed, but the technical details are printed in the upper left corner.
