[Below: A gruesome postcard, who would have this made into a postcard? Some psychopath. These are probably German soldiers. During the Warsaw Uprising the insurgents wore German clothes and gear, so there is a chance these could be those, but based on the savagery, I'd stick with my first guess.]

[Below: Close-up. Note the image of the robed figure here and look below for a small explanation and a few more examples.]
By the 19th century the figure was portrayed as youthful and became known as the Münchner Kindl or Munich Child.'
[Below: I like how the National Socialist shield from 1934 had the Munich Child in a red and white circle like that of the National Socialist flag. Wherever this postcard is depicting it looks very cool. Beneath the locations under the shields it says 'International Road Congress'.]
[Below: 'Greetings from Munich', here's a keg of beer for you.]
[Below: This postcard, sent on December 27, 1942, says: 'Munich Child as a Mountain Climber - When I stand up on the hill and look into the valley, then I send you greetings, a thousand at once.']

[Below: This uses postage stamps from an International Auto Show and is postmarked with a special event cancel on July 23, 1939. Nothing special, until you look closely at the stamps...]
[Below: If you look closely there is an overprint that says 'Nürburgring-Rennen' (Nürburgring Racing). Nürburgring is a racetrack and this was overprinted to commemorate a race. The stamps are fairly scarce and are worth a great deal more than the ones with no overprint.]
