Hello there! I live in Russia and I found this postcard in my great-grandfather’s papers.
Initially I thought it was written in Polish (because the postcard itself is Polish), but with [help of the reddit polish community](https://www.reddit.com/r/poland/comments/zrdyn5/i_found_this_postcard_with_polish_text_in_my/) I came to the conclusion that it might be in German! I also learned that the stamp is probably saying “Feldpost” – which was a German military mail system at the time.
I wonder what was written on it, especially because of the date it was sent. But I can’t understand a single word, because the person who wrote this had poor handwriting.
I will be happy if someone could help me!

And … […] best wishes. Letter follows.
The handwriting isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just not Latin letters but a system of script called “Kurrent” that most people now can’t read either. And many people had a fairly individualised hand that makes it trickier. (ETA: There’ll probably be comments saying it’s “Sütterlin” – no, it’s not. Sütterlin is a late, standardised and designed version of Kurrent, and this is not it.)
There’s a specialised sub, /r/kurrent, where people can probably help you out.
I do see “Beste Grüße [line break] Brief folgt” as the second and third lines on the first picture. That means “Best greetings. Letter to follow”.
