GAUTAG DER NSDAP
(22nd/23rd Oct 1938)

BACKGROUND: Originally this postcard was released to commemorate Gau Day on 22nd and 23rd Oct 1938, however the event was delayed so this card was re-issued in two forms. The first re-issue is exactly the same as the original but now has the '22/23 Okt' overprinted '4-6 Nov'. Clearly stocks of the '22/23 Okt' version were re-used. The second form has exactly the same design but there is no longer a '22/23 Okt' date at all, instead it has been completely replaced (not overwritten) with 4.-6. NOV.)

SONDERSTEMPEL:
