Description
This postcard shows Kaiser Wilhelm II’s younger brother, Prinz Heinrich. Heinrich was one of the Kaiserliche Marine’s six großadmirals. During WW I, he commanded the German fleet in the Baltic against the Russians. Here, he is shown from the chest up in the Kaiserliche Marine’s gala admiral’s uniform. Below his image is a message from Prinz Heinrich, along with a reproduction signature. It is dated 1914. The reverse reveals the postcard was produced for the German Red Cross’s benefit. We further see that it was mailed as a Feldpostkarte in 1915.
