Description from the seller

Large Collection of Original WWII Letters (1941–1945) – German Home Front & Frontline Correspondence – Over 100 Letters
This lot consists of an extensive and coherent collection of original handwritten letters exchanged during the years 1941–1945, written by a wife to her husband serving at the front and stationed in various locations during World War II.
The correspondence offers a deeply personal and authentic insight into everyday life, family relations, emotional bonds, and the realities of wartime Germany. The letters reflect love, longing, concern, hope, and resilience, while also documenting shortages, air raids, labor demands, military movements, and the psychological impact of prolonged separation caused by the war.
The letters are chronologically arranged, clearly dated, and follow one another in sequence, making it possible to reconstruct events, personal experiences, and historical context over several years. This continuity significantly enhances both the historical and documentary value of the collection.
