WWII German Wehrmacht Army Soldier Comic Postcard Rifle Bayonet Steel Helmet

Original WWII-era German humorous military postcard featuring a cartoon German soldier in uniform and steel helmet holding his rifle vertically, complete with ammunition pouches and a bayonet/frog worn at his belt.

The artwork is signed “Barlog” in the lower right.

The soldier’s helmet bears a stylized shield insignia, while his equipment and exaggerated pose give the card the appearance of a period military caricature.

The handwritten-style caption beneath the illustration reads:

“O Löwitschützen, mein Löwitschützen, wie lieb ich dich!”

Approximately:

“Oh Löwitschützen, my Löwitschützen, how I love you!”

The wording appears intentionally humorous and may be a play on a military/unit expression or song lyric, fitting the caricature style of the card.

Military Details Visible

The illustration clearly depicts a German soldier with:

• Stahlhelm steel helmet
• Military tunic with collar tabs
• German service rifle
• Ammunition pouches
• Bayonet and frog
• Field/service equipment

A particularly interesting piece of WWII German soldier humor and military culture, and a great display card because of the large, clean illustration.
