HESSEN-NASSAU cancellation as featured in the Bochmann catalogues (1952)
A mobile post office accompanied the excursion of the participants. The post office stamped the cancellation on the mail items and handed them over to the next post office, which cancelled the stamps. It sold postcards with the cancellation already stamped upon them. Cancellations from places that were not visited and from a later date can be found. Source: Bochmann
Note: JB: Hessen-Nassau1/385 was the only special cancellation issued for the Hessen-Nassau province during the 3rd Reich period.
