NAZI GERMANY
24th EAST GERMAN FAIR
(23rd/26th Aug 1936)
There were 4 very similar postcards published to commemorate the 1936 German Eastern Fair held in Königsberg from 23rd to 26th Aug 1936. The first two have 6Pf Hindenburg Medallion stamps (PP127-C-21-01 and -02). PP127-C-21-02 can be distinguished from -01 by the additional text "3. PHILATELISTTISCHE OSTLANDTAGUNG" just above the image on the left pane.
The other two cards (PP142-C-5-01 and -02) differ from the first two postcards in that they have 5Pf Luftpost stamps but are otherwise identical. PP142-C-5-02 also has the additional text whilst PP142-C-5-01 does not.
Two special cancel were used at the fair inscribed 'KÖNIGSBERG | (PR) | DOK | Deutsche Ostmesse' and 'KÖNIGSBERG | philatelistische | Ostland-Tagung'.
