Information on these cards is scarce but the featured "Infanterie Waffengattung insignia", first appearing in newspapers of February 1945, indicates a very late war publishing.
On the reverse, C. Pahl & Co verlag ( Hamburg ) printed a quote from a speech Hitler made at a Winterhilfwerke event on 3/10/1941, next to the "new" Infanterie insignia,:
"Über allem steht in seiner leistung der Deutsche Infanterist"
