Monograph #1 -- American Aid for German War Prisoners

by Harold Joseph Krische

This is the first monograph in a series produced by members of the Military Postal History Society, published in April 2023.

The author's examination of Canadian World War II (WWII) Prisoner of War (POW) mail (including merchant seamen, refugees, enemy aliens and soldiers) revealed a noteworthy level of correspondence going to 16 Duerstein Street in Buffalo, New York. Recognition of this 'trend' is notable over many significant collections including, but not limited to, those of the author, Sharpe, Ellison, Luciuk and Powell.

The allure of postal history often has roots in a potential rewarding story whereby further research yields significant understanding. Usually, discussions are routinely associated with stamps, cancellations, routes, rates or auxiliary postal markings on a card or an envelope.

Inquisitive postal historians will frequently raise questions about the “human” aspects of items related to the sender, to the recipient, to the possible nature of the correspondence and even to the factors that impact the use of mail.
