Feldpost cover from Italian serving in German WWII armed forces with Entlausungsanstalt 62. This comes from a specialized collection, the largest I have seen of Italians in the German Armed Forces; as these came from foreign members of the Wehrmacht most were censored and bear various censorship markings. Many of these covers are in average to poor shape, reflecting the hard times their authors had at the end of WWII (most are from 1944-1945). Please see the scan for the exact condition, I would like to note that not all such Italians were necessarily volunteers in the strict sense of the word -- after the capitulation on Sept. 8, 1943 many went into POW work camps and used the feldpost number of the unit to which they were attached; most were not " Nazi's" , even those who served in the Waffen SS after the capitulation . Italian units already integrated into the Wehrmacht continued to do so, though they and the newly formed units in many cases received new feldpost numbers in the 80000-88000 range (Michel Feldpost Handbook, 2002, p235).
