Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

An official NSDAP souvenir post card franked with Sc 465 postally used 31 August 1933 with a “3 star” slogan cancellation. It was mailed from Postamt Nurnberg 2. The card was designed by Siegmar von Suchodolski. Brend’amour, Simhart & Company of Munich did the copper engraved printing. Copyrighted by Franz Eher Verlag of Munich “The 1933 Rally had its official beginning with the arrival of Hitler shortly before 8:00 PM on 31 August. He had come from Munich with his cabinet and was cheered by the waiting crowd as he was driven to the hotel Deutscher Hof. Later in the evening, the city officials cordially greeted Hitler and the leaders of the Party at the Nurnberg Town Hall. Mayor Liebel delivered a welcoming address and presented Hitler with Diirer’s engraving “Knight, Death, and the Devil” - a fitting gift, since to the Romantics it represented Germanic knightly prowess in the face of adversity and death. Hitler briefly answered the mayor’s speech and was driven back to the hotel.”
