EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dated 1916, captures the spirit of unity and triumph of the Central Powers during World War I. The Central Powers, led by Germany and Austria-Hungary, are depicted here as they proudly hold aloft the Balkan Express, a symbol of their victories against Serbia in January 1916. The train, a powerful and modern emblem of progress and connectivity, is adorned with the flags and shields of the Central Powers, as well as lightning bolts representing the successful campaigns that had recently taken place. The Central Powers' soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and bearing weapons, stand confidently and determinedly, their faces expressing a sense of pride and accomplishment. The background is filled with the chaos and destruction of war, yet the Central Powers remain unified and strong, their grip on the Balkan Express a testament to their dominance in the region. This postcard, a powerful piece of propaganda, was likely circulated to boost morale and demonstrate the Central Powers' strength and determination to their own people and to the world.
