1948 U.S. Army Postcard. Bayerische Zugspitzbahn Cable Car

A striking black and white postcard showing the Bavarian Zugspitzbahn cable car ascending through clouds toward Germany's highest peak.
Mailed April 17, 1948 via U.S. Army Postal Service, this card carries a heartfelt note from a soldier writing home:
"Dear Dad, This is getting as near to heaven as quite a few people on earth get."
Addressed to Rev. E.F. Tinnett, DD, President of Bible Training School & College, Knoxville, Tennessee... it's a poignant glimpse of post-war life and faith from the heights of the Alps.
Authorized by the U.S. Army 6870 DISCC, this postcard blends military postal history with Alpine engineering, a rare combination for collectors of WWII-era correspondence and German mountain railways.
