1941 General Government franked with multiple values addressed to an SS colonel at Buchenwald Concentration Camp (3)

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)
Philatelically prepared cover franked with multiple values of the engraved Polish stamps of 1937 and 1938, which were overprinted by the Generalgouvernement and issued 8-18 March 1940. Postmarked: 20 April 1941 Krakau. Although addressed to an SS colonel at Buchenwald Concentration Camp (SS-Standartenfiihrer Fritz Flohrstedt), it is assumed that rather than going through the mails, the cover was franked and cancelled as a souvenir sheet. The Gelegenheitsstempel (special cancel) was issued to commemorate Hitler’s 52nd birthday and depicts the NSDAP eagle emblem with a flaming torch and a sword in the background. It was also used in Warschau, Radom and Lublin for several days.
