亚瑟·塞斯-因夸特作为战俘签署的亲笔信：“你听说过《浮士德》吗？” 铅笔书写的德语亲笔信，署名“塞斯-因夸特”，一页，书写于5.5×3.25英寸的“战俘明信片”上，1945年9月17日。这封手写信询问荷兰饥荒的近况，全文如下（译文）： “希望这张明信片能顺利送达，并祝您一切安好。您听说过‘浮士德’的消息吗？我身体很好。但关于我的同胞，自三月以来我一无所知。如果您有所了解，恳请您通过战俘明信片将消息告知我，我将不胜感激。谨向您及您的亲人致以最诚挚的祝福。” 保存状况极佳至良好，有零星污渍。 鉴于塞斯-因夸特作为被占领的荷兰的“帝国专员”度过的最后几周，这张明信片中提到的“浮士德”尤为耐人寻味。 在1944至1945年荷兰那场灾难性的“饥饿之冬”期间，大范围的粮食短缺使荷兰西部大部分地区濒临饥荒。1945年4月，塞斯-因夸特与荷兰及盟军代表展开谈判，最终在德国投降前促成了紧急粮食救援物资送达当地民众。 其中最广为人知的行动是盟军的“玛娜行动”和“食客行动”空投，而“浮士德行动”则通过陆路运送物资：从5月2日开始，加拿大和英国的卡车将数千吨食品运过战线，送入仍由德国控制的荷兰西部地区。塞斯-因夸特亲自参加了在阿赫特费尔德举行的谈判，正是这些谈判使这些救援措施得以实施。
