RARE! 1937 WWII Nazi German Third Reich SA STORMTROOPERS House Home HEIM NORDSEE Postcard

1937 German SA Heim Nordsee Wyk Föhr Postcard Mailed Hindenburg Stamp

Description:

Original pre-WWII German postcard from the SA-Heim Nordsee at Wyk auf Föhr, located on the North Sea island of Föhr in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

The front features an elevated photographic view of the SA home and its surrounding grounds, with the North Sea visible in the distance.

The reverse is printed:

“SA.-HEIM NORDSEE WYK (FÖHR)”

and:

“Anfragen usw. sind zu richten an:
Heimleitung des SA.-Heims Nordsee, Wyk auf Föhr
Fernruf: Wyk 440”

Translation:
“SA Home North Sea, Wyk (Föhr). Inquiries, etc. should be addressed to the management of the SA Home Nordsee, Wyk auf Föhr. Telephone: Wyk 440.”

The postcard was genuinely mailed in August 1937 and carries a 6 Pfennig Deutsches Reich Hindenburg postage stamp. Multiple postal markings are present, including a clearly dated 5.VIII.37 cancellation and a Niebu… / Zug railway or traveling-post-office style cancellation.

Handwritten Message & Translation

The handwritten German is somewhat difficult to decipher, but the message appears to read approximately:

German transcription:

“Liebste Elli!
In der Eile habe ich
Deine genaue Anschrift nicht.
Hoffe, dass ich dieselbe
so bekomme. Ich schreibe Dir alles
schriftlich richtig im Kopfe zu haben.
Bitte schreibe mir sofort nach Glücks-
burg Karte einmal wieder!
Herzlichst gegrüßt von
Deinem Hermann
Heil!”

English translation, approximately:

“Dearest Elli!
In my haste I don’t have your exact address. I hope that I have it correctly like this. I will write everything to you properly once I have it all straight in my head. Please write to me immediately at Glücksburg—a card again!
Heartfelt greetings from
your Hermann.
Heil!”

Some individual words in the handwriting are difficult to read with certainty, so the translation should be regarded as an approximate rendering rather than a guaranteed word-for-word transcription.
