LANDESVERBAND THÜRINGEN DES REICHSBUNDES DER PHILATELISTEN
"THE GREEN HEART of GERMANY"
(18th Jul 1937)

BACKGROUND: There were three postcards issued to commemorate the "Green Heart of Germany" postal exhibition held in Bad Blankenburg on 18th Jul 1937. The first two (PP122-C-52-01 and -02) have exactly the same design, and the same 3Rpf Hindenburg Medallion stamp, only the colour of the image on the left pane is different. The third card (PP142-C-12) has a totally different design and a 5Rpf Luftpost pre-printed stamp.
