<p>I love Captain Cool, center, and his squad of traffic goons in this RPPC from 1949. The back of the card doesn&#8217;t have any identifiable markings from the manufacturer, but someone was kind enough to make notes for me:<br />
<div id="attachment_1232" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.wildpostcards.com/wp-content/slng93/2008/10/vienna-traffic-division-1949-back.jpg" class="floatbox" rel="floatbox.1227" rev="caption:`Vienna Traffic Squad, 1949 (Back)`"><img src="http://www.wildpostcards.com/wp-content/slng93/2008/10/vienna-traffic-division-1949-back-500x54.jpg" alt="Yeah, we ride Harleys." title="Vienna Traffic Squad, 1949 (Back)" width="500" height="54" class="size-medium wp-image-1232" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Yeah, we ride Harleys.</p></div></p>
<p>Unfortunately, the only German that I can translate from this is &#8220;Harley-Davidson&#8221;.</p>
<p>Lest you think that these aren&#8217;t enough cops to manage all of the traffic violators in Vienna, not to worry; their numbers would more than double by 1950:</p>
<div id="attachment_1236" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.wildpostcards.com/wp-content/slng93/2008/10/vienna-traffic-division-1950.jpg" class="floatbox" rel="floatbox.1227" rev="caption:`Vienna Traffic Squad, 1950`"><img src="http://www.wildpostcards.com/wp-content/slng93/2008/10/vienna-traffic-division-1950-500x312.jpg" alt="Missing: the other photo where they all turn around to show that their leather pants are assless" title="Vienna Traffic Squad, 1950" width="500" height="312" class="size-medium wp-image-1236" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Missing: the other photo where they all turn around to show that their leather pants are assless</p></div>
<p><span id="more-1227"></span>This card has a little more detail on the back but, unfortunately, my limited ability to read German is further hindered by the antiquated handwriting:</p>
<div id="attachment_1237" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 325px"><a href="http://www.wildpostcards.com/wp-content/slng93/2008/10/vienna-traffic-division-1950-back.jpg" class="floatbox" rel="floatbox.1227" rev="caption:`Vienna Traffic Squad, 1950 (Back)`"><img src="http://www.wildpostcards.com/wp-content/slng93/2008/10/vienna-traffic-division-1950-back-315x499.jpg" alt="To my sweetheart(?)" title="Vienna Traffic Squad, 1950 (Back)" width="315" height="499" class="size-medium wp-image-1237" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">To my sweetheart(?)</p></div>
<p>All that I can really make out from this is that it is addressed to &#8220;my sweetheart&#8221; (I think) and that it is dated Vienna, 12 November 1950.  If you can clarify this for me, I would appreciate it.</p>
