WWII Real Photo Postcards
German POWs Interned in Canada
During WWII, photographs of German POWs interned in Canadian camps were taken and reproduced on postcard size stock. The cards provided family and friends with visual assurance of the prisoners' well-being.
The cards shown in this post were printed on Eastman Kodak silver chloride paper called Azo which is identified in the upper right hand corner of the address side.
Azo photographic postcard stock
was introduced by Kodak in the
early 1900s.
