Letter from the Front

My Grand-Mother, Maria Fischer, came from Germany, Frankenstein (now Ząbkowice Śląskie, Poland). She married a Russian prisoner-of-war (1st World War) in 1920 and then they came to the Soviet Russia. I found this post-card among their documents: 1 Komp. I. Werft-Div, man-of-war's men's photo and text on the back side. I guess this post card is from her fiancé, Ernst, who died in this War. And he is on the Photo. After the War, Russian prisoners-of-war was staying (living) in Zadel, near Frankenstein. One of them was my Grand-Father.
Post card. On the one side - there is a Photo: 1 Komp. I. Werft-Div, man-of-war's men. On the other side - letter from the front
