Non avrei mai pensato che in pieno conflitto mondiale fosse comunque celebrata la giornata del francobollo...
Domanda: ma il soggetto che guarda i bolli con la lente è Hitler?
Era filatelista?
Guardando la cartolina al verso si nota l'impronta parziale dell'immagine: secondo voi l'inchiostro è passato da parte a parte della carta oppure è il risultato della sovrapposizione dei fogli a inchiostro ancora fresco?
January 1942 was the best period for organized philately in the Third Reich.
The "war" between Reichsbund der Philatelisten (the "federazione" which exists before the Third Reich) and the Kraft durch Freude - Gruppen (the organisation of the fascists come il "dopolavore" del Duce) was over, the general mood in the German Society was good (only a few meters until the Wehrmacht takes Moskau and that will be easily done when the Winter is over, many of the soldiers were at home for the first time since September 1939 ...
A year later the situation is complete different: the battle of Stalingrad ... in 1943 and 1944 you find more "Tag der Briefmarke" activities in the occupied countries then in the Reich ... many of the postal clerks were active philatelsits - and these were doing thier job at the field post offices, were as the post at home was mainly operated by old men (Reichspost stopped letting go men into "pension" when the war begins) and young woman (according to pre war laws only not married woman were allowed to work at the post) - when the war was over in 1945, many of the local post clerk were between 65 and 70 and in some cases they were replaced by the allies with people even older ...
Reichpost introduced the "Postleitzahl" (codice postale) because then the sorting of letter and parcel could be done by people not knowing German geography (like Zwangsarbeiter ...)
