Here is my starter, Cover of The Day. I would welcome any comments on this, especially as it is German-Polish, so my interpretation of the writing might not be correct:

Commercial Polish card, so captured, and datelined to reverse 2 Oct 1939 Zapopane, which is a small town in the Tatrus mountains (Southern Poland). Th German invasion of Poland had started a month earlier on the 1st September, card is posted to Berlin.

Cancelled FELDPOST 670 3.10.39 allocated to the 3rd Anti Tank Regiment 257th Infantry, with the post office located in Krakow. The 'numbering' of FELDPOST date stamps stopped briefly after this (much to disappointment of historians).
