1945 Cover franked with Scott 508 and 511 paying the 12 Rpf letter rate posted 15 January 1945 in Brieg

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

"Cover franked with Scott 508 and 511 paying the 12 Rpf letter rate posted 15 January 1945 in Brieg (Bz Breslau). Brieg was a town of approximately 30,000 in 1945. On the Oder River and formerly in Prussia, it was assigned to Poland at the Potsdam Conference. Historically, it was the residence of the Dukes of Brieg from 1311 to 1675. The former Piasten-Schloss (castle) is constructed of sandstone and covered with figures and rich ornamentation in the most tasteful 16""' century Renaissance style. The slogan within the publicity cancel: BESUCHT BRIEG MIT SEINEN SCHONEN GARTENANLAGEN translates: VISIT BRIEG WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL GARDEN ARRANGEMENT The most interesting aspect of this cover beyond its late wartime usage is the fact that it was originally franked with Sc 51 IB (12 Rpf, carmine) and posted in Zerbst on 27 November 1944. In other words, it was turned inside out and used twice due to the severe paper shortage!"
