1940 The Iron Cross "Only one of us can be the victor and that is we"

Lot 193

Michel P 290 issued 12 July 1940; valid until 31 December 1941.
An official postal stationery card designed by Gottfried Klein. The inscription reads: “Only one of us can be the victor and that is we.” It is a quote from Hitler’s speech of 8 November 1939. The imprinted stamp (6+16 Rpf) is similar to the adhesive issued for the 1939 Day of National Labor. This card is considered one of the best designed and most striking of all Third Reich postal cards.
There was no special postmark for the card, but the one most associated with it is the 19 July 1940 Berlin - Grossdeutscher Reichstag. (See overleaf.)
