This postcard shows Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941), his six sons, his son-in-law, Braunschweig’s Ernst August, and several other top level officers, leaving one of the Kaiser’s castles. The Kaiser walks in the lead. I believe that Saxony’s König Friedrich August III is beside him. Both men are wearing generals’ pickelhauben. The postcard was not mailed. It is quite uncommon.

This is a colorized postcard of Generalfeldmarschall Paul von Hindenburg (1847-1934). He is wearing a dunkel-blau (dark-blue) tunic, with epaulettes, a ribbon bar, breast star, and two neck orders. Von Hindenburg achieved fame early in WW I, defeating the Russians at Tannenberg on the Eastern Front. He later commanded the entire German Army. He became the President of the Weimar Republic in the 1920’s. He ultimately was forced to accept Adolf Hitler as his Chancellor. Upon von Hindenburg’s death in 1934, Hitler assumed control of Germany and the Third Reich was born. This postcard was mailed from Austria during WW I.
