1938 Postcard privately printed “Our Fiihrer” with Cancellation Commemorating the NSDAP

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

Photo card privately printed and published in 1938 by the Berlin firm of Driesen-Verlag. The photo is a one of a series published in the late 1930s by a number of private companies. Apparently it was in the public domain because no photo credit is given. Hannover, 11 June 1938 Scott No. 403 tied to card with cancellation commemorating the NSDAP Gautag or Region Days. Gau is an old German term for a particular (tribal) region. Although customary even before 1933, after that date the NSDAP officially used the term Gau to designate its highest “sovereign territory” (Hoheitsgebiet) below the Reich level. A Gauleiter directed a Gau.
