Kartki żywnościowe Wehrmacht dla żołnierza na urlop - III Rzesza, II wojna światowa—
€29.89
A unique and authentic historical document from the period of World War II – food stamps issued for a German Wehrmacht soldier during his leave. This extraordinary relic constitutes a tangible trace of the supply and logistics system of the Third Reich, showing the everyday life of soldiers behind the front lines.
Food stamps (German: Lebensmittelkarten or Urlaubsscheine) were a key element of rationing in wartime. Copies intended for soldiers on leave allowed them to collect food rations at their vacation location, away from their home unit. They are a fascinating object of study for historians, military collectors, and those interested in the realities of life in the Third Reich era.
Collector value:
The item is offered in a condition consistent with its age and utility nature (it may show signs of folding, entries, stamps). It is more than just a piece of paper – it is a tangible fragment of history that has survived to our times.

- Ideal for a collection: An excellent addition to collections dedicated to World War II, the Wehrmacht, the history of everyday life, or military philokarty.
