 | | | Hope travels to the front line |
| Alongside its other duties, the German forces postal service always did its best to keep the front line well supplied with such essentials as cigarettes, tobacco, sugar, spices, salt, warm underwear - and hope. Every available means of transport was pressed into service, from aircraft through buses equipped as travelling post offices to the simple horse and cart. Needless to say, the postal fleet included Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The arrival of the post was always an eagerly awaited occasion, with every soldier hoping for a letter or parcel from back home. After all, the post was often the only means of contact for months at a time between soldiers and their families. |
