OFFICIAL POSTCARD
6Rpf
Issued 29th Dec 1934 to raise money for the Winter Relief Fund this series of double postcards was issued to raise money for the Winter Relief Lottery in 1934/1935. There are one hundred double cards (200 images). Not all the cards have a pre-printed stamp, in fact most do not, and it was pot luck whether the buyer of the card managed to get one that was pre-paid. Although these were double cards, they were not intended to be used that way, they were supposed to be separated and used individually.
The remarks made in Amtsblatt (Official journal of the Reich Post Ministry Announcements of the German Reich Post) No. 111 of Dec 1934 translates roughly as follows:
"The National Socialist German Workers' party is part of the Winter Relief Organization 1934/35. From December 29th a street lottery will be organised. Each lot has 2 contiguous attached Postcards, of which a card with a 6Rpf franking value stamp is provided. The value stamp is only provided on 40 of the different postcards. The cards must be separated in order to be sent by post. The value stamp was designed by the artist, Emmy Glintzer in Steglitz Berlin.
The pre-printed stamp shows a hand with a bowl, from which a flame blazes up, behind it one heart surrounded by a halo. The size and color of the value stamp are the same as with the ordinary 6 Rpf Postcard. If required, additional stamps can be added to cover the cost of postage to other countries. Shipping points for collectors to send their items for distribution is not available".
