There are six photos on the card. They were taken by the AMIE camera onboard SMART-1 satellite. 

 

SMART-1 was a Swedish-designed European Space Agency satellite that orbited around the Moon. It was launched on September 27, 2003. "SMART-1" stands for Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology-1. On September 3, 2006, SMART-1 was deliberately crashed into the Moon's surface, ending its mission.

這是一張由歐洲太空總署 (ESA) 所發行的月亮明信片,當中包含了六張由SMART-1搭載AMIE相機所拍攝的月球照片。SMART-1是一個由瑞典設計的月球軌道衛星,發射於2003年9月27日,在2006年9月3日墜毀於月球表面而結束任務。

The center of  the top side is Zucchius Crater. From left to right of the bottom side are Lomonosov Crater, C. Mayer and W. Bond Craters, Rozhdestvenskiy Crater.

Möhne Reservoir was once the largest dam in Europe. It is damming of two rivers, Möhne and Heve. During WW2 it was bombed by Royal Air Force who used bouncing bombs in Operation Chastise. The impact of the raid on German industry in the Ruhr valley and indeed on the civil population was significant. Here is a short video about the damages on Youtube.

此郵票為建築郵票,紀念德國 默訥水庫完工100年。此水庫啟用時是歐洲最大的水壩,它匯集了默訥河與Heve河。在二次大戰期間,此水壩為英國 皇家空軍懲罰作戰的攻擊目標之一,當時的轟炸(使用一種特殊的彈跳炸彈,原理類似打水漂)造成默訥區魯爾區工業重鎮的嚴重損害。Youtube上有一則描述當時轟炸過後的相關影片(似乎是德語)。
