Description

An early postcard hand-painted by Julius Streicher. Water-color. Hand-written text to the back. "August 1911" dated. He signed with "Ihr Julst". Probably a nickname of him.

Julius Streicher was from 1925 NSDAP Gauleiter of Franconia as well as founder and publisher of the virulently antisemitic newspaper "Der Stürmer". During WWI Streicher served with 6. Bayerisches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment and as Leutnant der Reserve with the bicycle infantry (Radfahrtruppe). He was awarded the 1914 Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class. Streicher is known as a painting hobbyist.
