A postcard from Czech ethnic German man married to a Jewish woman in Bohemia Moravia. For this "crime" Bohomil Mueller was sentenced to a series of hard labor camps. At this time he is in the Org Todt Lager in Osterode im Harz, a subcamp of KL Mittelbau-Dora. The Osterode-Petershuette camp (aka Dachs IV) worked on excavating the mines for the V-Waffen (V1/V2) production and building barracks for the other workers/administrators. This letter was sent vary late in the war, in March of 1945, to his wife Nelli, who he believed was still at the Hagibor labor camp within the Jewish Ghetto at Prague, though her letters show that she had in fact been transported to the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. Note the numbered words on the reverse. At this time only 32-word responses were allowed, so each word is enumerated. A rare intercamp mailing.
