White House Cards signed on May 7, 1945
THE DAY GERMANY SURRENDERED

Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) and Bess Truman(1885-1982).President and First Lady of the United States. What a find!! White House Cards signed by the President and Firast Lady which were signed on the day Germany surrendered (May 7, 1945-(see date of letter of transmittal) and they were mailed on May 8, 1945 as indicated by the postmark on the mailing envelope.

Standard 4 in. x 2.5 in. WHC's signed by both The President and First Lady in fountain pen ink.Just imagine the euphoria in the White House on that day--the war in Europe was over. Hitler had committed suicide on April 30th, 1945 and VE day was declared on the day these cards were mailed, May 8th 1945.

The cards, their small envelope and the letter of transmittal and its postmarked cover are all in pristine condition. An incredible, and historic find. Truman WHC's getting difficult to find and one associated with these dates quite unique.

Price:$OLD
