These postcards were sent to KdF-Wagen savers that had already returned the third saving card. On the postcard they got the order number of their car. There are serveral different designs, because each administrative area (Gau) created their own layout. I know 8 different versions, but there are probably more.

Hi Frank,

Do you have the different styles on your website. I couldn't find these, only the saving cards.

The first one should fold in the middle. It's more like a booklet. I have a reproduction of one, #627

I have a completed #5 card, with insurance stamps, for car #1585 (cabriolet). Anybody have the "post card" for that car?

That is correct. It is sort of a booklet.

But that is for a Repro!!

I mean the real things.
These are more rare than the saving cards, but are they worth more than the saving cards?
