BLANK CARD
1Rpf HITLER MEDALLION
(1941/1945)
Starting in 1933 a great number of plain postcards were printed to private order. These cards all had pre-printed Hindenburg, Hitler or Posthorn stamps and vary by the presence/absence of a vertical dividing line, the value of the pre-printed stamp, presence/absence of text and solid destination line. It is impossible to determine the actual release date of each of the variants, so standard practise is to list them as being published on the same date as the issuance of the respective self-adhesive stamps.
These blank postcards were issued throughout 1941 until 1945 and exists in many basic forms.
