1934 Reich party rally of the NSDAP in Nuremberg, Eagle with oak branch, RARE card !!
Lot 289
Hitler’s 1933 decree designating Nurnberg as the City of the National Party Rallies, coupled with Goebbels’ popularization of the town in the press, magazines and films, quickly led to worldwide recognition of the Altstadt.
This post card was designed by Hans Friedmann and published by Stiirmer Verlag, Nurnberg. (Sturmer is only known to have published two Rally cards.)

All mail collected by the temporary camp post offices was sent to the main post offices in Nurnberg or Fiirth for cancellation and forwarding. There it was put through machines which applied the common slogan and flag cancellation or cancelled with the special commemorative handstamp on this post card. The double ring cancellation bears the words “Reichsparteitag/Nurnberg” in the outer ring with the two words separated by two five-pointed stars. Above the date bridge are the letters “NSDAP” and below is a small swastika. The official instructions governing the use of this handstamp have not survived, but it was probably used at a philatelic counter in one or more post offices and applied on request. These handstamps are unusual in that none of them bear the normal initial letter which served to identify the counter clerk to whom it was issued, It is therefore not possible to establish the number used and only by finding examples on registered mail is it possible to discover to which post offices they were issued. None have come to light so far. According to the Bochmann Catalog, these handstamps were in use from 29 August to 10 September 1934, and were, therefore, not confined to mail posted during the Rally week. Over 3 million items
