This is a German military field post card (Feldpost) sent in 1916 from Berzischken (now Beržiškiai, Lithuania). The cancellation of Berzischken is rarely seen on a cover or postcard, this is the only one I have and have seen in my life so far. According to Michel (Memel section of Michel Deutschland Spezial), this Berzischken postmark ceases to exist on the 28th of February 1923, a month after the takeover of Memelgebiet by the Lithuanians and from an information of another source, on 1924, the post office itself ceases to exist.
Its not Beržiškiai, its Berciškė! (Z in german language is like C in lithuanian)
