1939 Postally used cover in Nuremberg on 20 April

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)
Postally used in Nurnberg on 20 April 1939. This stamp is considered one of the most dramatic of the Hitler stamps. Prof. Klein designed it after a photograph by Heinrich Hoffmann taken on Hitler’s only visit to his birthplace since childhood, on 12 March 1938, the day of the Austrian Anschluss. The house in which Hitler was born is not shown, as the background with the church steeple was thought more effective.
