Image 1: 2 Full Sets of Feldeisenbahn Stamps. Identifying the colors is subjective,
however, my best guess is as follows:
Row 1 (Non-overprinted): Dark Brown, Red Brown, Sienna, Lilac, Red Orange, Red
Row 2 (Non-overprinted): Blue, Turquoise, Olive Green, Violet, Grey, Green
Row 3 (Overprinted): Dark Brown, Light Brown, Brown, Dark Lilac, Orange, Red
Row 4 (Overprinted): Blue, Turquoise, Olive Green, Violet, Light Grey, Dark Grey
THE ID CARD
A bilingual folded ID card is shown in Image 2 (outside) and Image
3 (inside) which verifies the stamps were used as proof of employment
and renewed monthly. The unoverprinted stamps were used in
1943 and the overprinted stamps were apparently intended for use in
1944. To my knowledge, the Feldeisenbahn ID cards are the only such
ID cards to have text in both German and Russian. On the top part of
both sides the text is in German and on the bottom side the text is in
Russian. Each line of text has been translated into English below, but
it is interesting to note: the Russian equivalent of the German text was
determined by either a German with a very poor command of Russian
or an illiterate Russian with little understanding of German. Any reader
fluent in Russian can easily see this.
