# Feldpostmarken #17z
|
Mint NH example of a rare late-war provisional Feldpost overprint. During the April 1945 battle of the Ruhr Pocket (Ruhrkessel) when Army Group B was cut off and surrounded, the local postmaster decided that the troops needed a Feldpost stamp for airmail Feldpost letters. He had standard 3 Rfg Hitler stamps overprinted "Feldpost" at the Kämper printers in Meinerzhagen. Although overprinted, it is thought that none were ever issued and if they were, none are known postally used (those with cancellations were done at local post offices, but not postally used). 2015 Michel Germany Specialized cat 80€=
