Bochmann: Bielefeld

Airmail postcard sent from Bielefeld to Fräulein Nora v. Klaas, Radesingel 23, Groningen, franked with the 15 Pfennig Hindenburg definitive. The Bielefeld machine cancellation incorporates the LUFTPOST / BEFÖRDERT BRIEFE · ZEITUNGEN · PAKETE advertising slogan, with the distinctive aircraft motif; Bochmann reference JB:114A/813 (variation). The card provides a good early-Third-Reich example of ordinary international correspondence and German promotion of airmail services, posted only weeks after Hitler's appointment as Chancellor. The handwritten message appears personal rather than political or historically significant. Ref: 09.03.1933 - 37/24
