1941 General Government franked with multiple values addressed to an SS colonel at Buchenwald Concentration Camp (2)
Lot 721
Philatelically prepared cover franked with multiple values of the engraved Polish stamps of 1937 and 1938, which were overprinted by the Generalgouvernement and issued 8-18 March 1940. Postmarked:
20 April 1941 Warschau.
Although addressed to an SS colonel at Buchenwald Concentration Camp (SS-Standartenfiihrer Fritz Flohrstedt), it is assumed that rather than going through the mails, the cover was franked and cancelled as a souvenir sheet.
The Gelegenheitsstempel (special cancel) was issued to commemorate Hitler’s 52'"1 birthday and depicts the NSDAP eagle emblem with a flaming torch and a sword in the background. It was also used in Radom, Krakau and Lublin for several days.
