1942 Souvenir cover with commemorative label depicting The House In Which The Fuhrer Was Born in the Austria

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)
Souvenir cover with commemorative label depicting The House In Which The Fuhrer Was Born in the Austrian town of Braunau am Inn. The cover was mailed 20 April 1942 from Postamt Wien 1 to Herrn Hof rat Prof.Dr.Gustav Riehl. Hofrat means “Privy Councilor” in German. A Privy Councilor is a legal advisor to an executive or governmental administrator. This cover is franked with a 3 Rpf stamp (Scott 507), the printed matter rate (Drucksache) for its weight. It was therefore considered in the same category as a post card by the Reichspost. Judging from the undisturbed gum, the envelope did not contain a written message.
