Description
This is Christmas card from 1944 written home from a member of the United States Army 29th Infantry Division in Germany. The card was printed in-theatre with a rather somber scene of destruction on it and reads THE 29TH INFANTRY DIVISION, ON ITS WAY THROUGH THE SIEGFRIED LINE, WISHES YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS 29 LET'S GO.
