    I found this in a box of many vintage postcards my dad had. I don't know what year or country. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks much!

      Across the top is written "Feldpostkarte" which means "Military Post card"
      Altenberg is a town in the Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge district, in the Free State of Saxony, Germany. It is situated in the Ore Mountains, close to the border with the Czech Republic. - It was mailed to Dusseldorf, also in Germany - I believe the date is on the postmark and it looks like 1922 but I cannot be certain.

      I can't read the date on the postmark but since it is "Feldpost" that means it was sent by a soldier in the military during the first world war 1914-1918. The uniforms are Landwehr meaning guys too old for front line duty serving on the home front.

      Nice shot of those Landwehr uniforms
