Postcard from Germany

Hansel and Gretel is a well-known fairy tale of German origin, recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812. Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister threatened by a cannibalistic witch living deep in the forest in a house constructed of cake and confectionery. The two children save their lives by outwitting her. The tale has been adapted to various media, most notably the opera and a stop-motion animated feature film made in the 1950s based on the opera.
This nice postcard with special postmarks and matching stamps, was sent by my best correspondent friend Erhard Molbitz from Postdam, Germany.
