Sanke Cards

[Daniel Cole]

Is there a definative resource on the Sanke Postcards? Such as a listing of all the cards, or a book where all are pictured?

Just Curious,
Dan Cole

Just found this online. Worth a look. http://www.frontflieger.de/3sanke.html

Schliffer publishing just released a book on Sanke cards. Charles Woolley, former editor of Cross and Cockade, is the author. I spoke with Mr. Woolley at the Max and there is strong interest in a sequel book that will cover NPG, Rothenbergs Liersch etc.

Christophe,

Do you have any duplicates to sell? I am looking for about 20 cards.

[Deruelle]

Hi,

If you want I can send you a copy of my work. That's all I can do for you. I think my list is not complete so you can work on it. Look at different dealers' website who sell Sanke cards. You can send me an email inwhich you will give me your adress.

Regards

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

Is it possible to know the issue date of your Sanke Cards? I am curious if you know when card #644 (Ritter von Schleich) was issued?

Thanks,

Darren

[Mike Dunn]

Here is a site on Sanke cards. Hope this helps. Mike

Dan/Darren,

I hope that some of these responses have been helpful. The website listed is nice but is far from being a comprehensive listing of cards. The Schliffer book I mentioned in a previous reply pictures all of the known Sanke cards and provides a very brief thumbnail sketch of the aviators on the cards. The book only covers aviation people and does not attempt to cover all of the navy, navy personalities or airplanes that were part of the early Sanke runs. There are approximately 300 aviation personage cards (I dont have my list at the office) not including variations such as sepia toned, with Todd cross etc.

There is a person who occasionally sells on e-bay a complete listing of known Sankes/NPGs/Liersch/Salanger/Rothenberg cards. The list is around $7 (USD)

As for Darrens question regarding date of issue, there really is no way to tell when a card was released; Sanke did not print an issue date etc on the cards. However, there are certain ways/clues to get an idea as to when a card was issued. Cards were numbered starting at 340 (Immelmann) and continued up to around 690. As far as we know cards were printed in numerical sequence, so 644 would be a later issue card. Additionally as pilots were awarded new medals, were promoted or killed, the Sanke firm would update the original card by changing the rank, adding a painted on award or the TODD cross. These small changes to the card can assist in determining when a card was issued.

Hope this helps.

[Darren]

Thanks Gary for the added info. I appreciate you sharing it with me. I will look for those clues you mentioned., as well as the list on Ebay!

regards,

Darren

[Carsten126]

The book of Charles Woolley after almost 90 years is simply fantastic. And to hear that there will be a sequel with all the other Liersch etc. cards is a dream. I hope it will be issued soon.

[Tony]

Hello,

If you can find a copy (out of print) the "Pour le Merite and Germany's First Aces" by John R. Angolia and Clint R. Hackney is a good resource book.

Speaking of cards, can anyone tell me if there was ever a card issued (from any of the companies mentioned) for Carl Degelow, the last PLM winner? I have a period photo album from an NCO pilot of Jasta 40, Degelow's last command of the war. In it are two autographed photos of Degelow taken upon the occasion of his winning the Hohenzollern House Order. I would like to get a card that features him, if one exists.

Thanks,
Chip

[AOK4]

Chip,

Any pictures that cover the period September-October 1918 and the presence of the unit in Bisseghem?

Regards,
Jan

[Chip M]

Jan,

Most of the photos date from May-July 1918. A few from 1917. The only one that mentions the Sept-Oct 1918 period is an bird's eye view of a British plane that was forced to land by Degelow. All it says is that the pilot was Portugese and the location was near Lille.

Regards,
Chip
