Although not tied to any franking, it commemorates the The General Meeting of the Lilienthal Society honored this early glider experimenter who published a classic work on the flight of birds as a foundation for aircraft in 1889. Otto Lilienthal was killed in 1896 while trying to fly a glider with flapping wing tips. § The third cancellation (dated 9 November 1937) is a “free-floating” commemoration of CROSSE POUTISCIIE SCHAU The Eternal Jew Political Exhibition vilifying the Jewish people opened on 8 November 1937 in the Library of the German Museum in Miinchen.
