Approximately 45 letters & postcards, many with original envelopes, in both ink and pencil. Plus 10 small snapshot photographs of German soldiers in the field and in action, most apparently in the Soviet Union.

Interesting group of correspondence during wartime Germany, including five postcards sent from an Anton Mueller while a prisoner of war in Canada and the United States, and about ten postcards or letters sent to him, both during and just after the war, while a prisoner in the U.S. or Britain. The other letters are among family members in Germany, perhaps different families, some also in the German military service. None are translated. The small group of snapshot photographs is quite interesting, with a few having German captions on verso which have been translated into English, e.g. "1942 Toni in Russia. Toni = Anton Mueller, German Soldiers in Russia 1942"; "1942 German Fieldtrack in Russia Toni making dishes." Other photos show tanks and German soldiers in the deep snow, one would presume in Russia. Toni seems to have been lucky enough to have been transferred to the western front before getting captured.
