Well gosh, we hope that with a few kind words and deeds all will be mended! The German text translates as "In a State of War," though to us, it seems at least like a ceasefire.
It looks as if this card was posted via "Feldpost" in 1915, though it is difficult to make out anything definite. The writing on the back of the card, rather than in ink, was perhaps in colored pencil, is a bit wavery and hard to make out.
Feldpost was (still is, as far as we know) the German military postal service. It was begun in Prussia in the 1700s (during the Seven Years War). Thanks Wikipedia!
The orange stamp on the back of the card is not one we've been able to locate online, and so seems to be an uncommon one.
A very nice card, circa 1910s.

The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
