The monograph is devoted to a comprehensive study of German postcards as a phenomenon of "culture of war" that integrates mentalities, everyday practices, as well as propaganda and ideology in their interaction and mutual influence. The book examines the existence of postcards in public and private spaces, the specifics of the postcard as a mass commercial product that turns it into a "mirror of people's soul". It studies the functions of postcards in recording and memorializing frontline experience, explores the relationship between visual images and personal messages of correspondents, and analyzes the visual explanatory models offered by postcards for interpreting the meaning of the war, understanding the German nation, and creating images of its allies and enemies.The book is addressed to historians, university professors and students, as well as to all those interested in the history of Germany and the First World War.
