Field post from wars: Rekener Heimatverein with over 500 memories

Reken, Deutschland - The Heimatverein Reken has compiled an impressive collection of field post letters Rekener soldiers in recent years. Overall, over 500 documents from the wars from 1870/71, the First World War (1914-1918) and the Second World War (1939-1945) were recorded. The members of the association, including Andreas Fraune, Uli Hengemühle and Hermann Josef Holthausen, carefully evaluated and cataloged these historical documents.

The Feldpost not only offers a look at everyday life at the time, but also shows personal fates and emotions that the soldiers experienced during their missions. In an example, a soldier writes: "The best regards from the Far East send your brother Bernhard. How are you? . Such letters are valuable contemporary witnesses that make the human face visible.
