To the lower left on the reverse panel Bruno Leitmann has given details of his army unit '13/I.R. 208, Lissa (Warthgau)'.
It appears most likely that Bruno Leitmann was captured at some point during his service on the Eastern Front. Research reveals a single piece of correspondence between Bruno and Gertrud during December 1946, this being prisoner of war mail from Berlin to Moscow. Further research required to discover what happen to Bruno post 1946.
