Postcard #3: "Town on Ammersee Lake"
Fotostöckel - Hannover 1
Stöckel-Farbfoto-Karte Nr. 5930, Aufn.: Roscher

A town on [A]mmersee lake where I was at rest camp-

I can't fully identify this town - it could be Schondorf but the church in that town is not next to the lake. The next closest fit is Diessen - I have another postcard (#4, forthcoming) of sailing boats and the text "Where I enjoyed 2 weeks leave."

Anyone know?

Tschüß!

Postcard #2: "Blick auf den Walchensee"
Die Welt in Farben
Nr. 1612: Farbenaufnahme von Jos. Jul. Schätz
Kunstverlag Georg Michel, Nürnberg-O

On a few of these, my Grandfather write "Emmersee lake" or "south of Emmersee lake" when the true spelling is Ammersee. (Perhaps the military called it something different? I researched on Wikipedia but couldn't find a history of name changes anywhere."


The text says:

A lake south of [A]mmersee lake

I love this picture - it faces southwest, with the Alps in the background (Garmisch-Partenkirchen would be in the valley before the alps). The small town to the right of the outshoot is Walchensee.

Check out this recent photo from a very similar viewpoint.

Tschüß!
