Summary

• "Farewell," the deepest sentiment of lovers at separation, was one of the most popular subjects on postcards sent home from the war. In a variety of styles -- in paintings and photographs -- at house doors, at garden gates, and at city gates, millions of Germans bade their farewells. And for millions, those "Wiedersehens" would not occur.
