The collection consists of letters written in German by Hans Korff, a set of stamps, envelopes, and a poster. The letters
were sent by Korff to his family while he was held as a prisoner of war in France during the First World War. The stamps in
the collection are mounted to show the hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s. The envelopes contained correspondence
between Korff while he was living in Mexico and his family back in Germany. The envelopes mailed post-WWII show British and
American censor marks. The poster displays a quote by Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, a German nationalist who was seen as an ideological
forebear to Nazism.
