This series of postcards was published by The German Army High Command "Oberkommando des Herres" and is titled "Unteroffiziere in kampf" or 'Non-Commissioned Officers in Combat'.



As well as the main title all ofthe cards have the following four lines of text at the lower left-hand corner.



Corporal in the army - a role model for German boys! Non-commissioned officer applicants who want to commit to 4½ to 12 years of service should contact the nearest military district command.
