Zugspitzhotel 3rd Army Tours Germany WWII Photograph Zugspitze Mt Vintage PC
This is a vintage lithograph photograph postcard that measures 5 1/2" x 3 1/2". The back has the usual postcard design and is without writing or stamp. The post card is marked, " The Zugspitzhotel" at the top and, " 3rd US Army "Tours" at the bottom by maker. This is a photo of the hotel in Germany at the top of Zugspitze Mountain. After WWII the hotel was taken over as a Military hotel for military. The name on postcard, "Zugspitzhotel" is a joke of sorts, as is the term, "tours". The real name of the hotel was, "Schneefernerhaus" and it first opened in 1931. It is built on the highest mountain in Germany. In 1948 it was used a German post office and later as a microwave station for radio station. In 1965 it was destroyed in avalanch. This lithograph style photo has white boarders and has a nice crisp, well in focus image. There is some yellowing to paper as would be expected of an item of this age. The 3rd US Army is Patton's Army in WWII. Interesting historic item. My photos are of the actual item you are getting. See my store for other interesting vintage photos and militaria related items.
