PAUL von HINDENBURG
FOURTH SERIES
P233

The fourth Hindenburg series of Get to Know Germany also appeared in mid 1934 and is refered to as P233 in the Michel series. This series is distinquished by the addition of a printer's number in the lower right-hand corner. The number is in the following format XX-XX-X-XX. The first two numbers on the left refer to the year the card was printed (e.g. 34 for 1934), the second two numbers are the series number (e.g. 31), the third number is the plate number (usually '1') and the final two characters are the view number (e.g. B1, B2 etc). All 36 different cards have the 'Lernt Deutschland Kennen!' heading.

As well as the official card there were a number of official cards with additional private printing.
