Hello all,
I recently learned that my late grandfather attended the Olympic games in Berlin in 1936.
I have been giver a few paper items from that trip. The majority of which are these "postcards".
Can anyone tell me what they are? Are these cigarette albumn pics.?
Thank you!

Hello Johnny, I don't think these postcards are Cigarette album cards. They look like regular postcards that could be purchased most anywhere in Germany at that time. Cigarette cards have a lot of information printed on the back. Here is a typical example front and back and a cropped version with some famous people in it.

the back of the cigarette card.

now, just who are these people?
