Überroller Mail

FURTHER RESEARCH REQUIRED. Überroller mail. Correspondence written and dated on 3rd March 1945 with cancellation from Wiesengründ (Sudetengau) to an address in Wiesbaden. Franked with 4 & 8 Pf Hitler head definitive stamps that appear to have passed through the domestic German postal system but with further transmission ceasing and the processing of the mail resuming with the British occupation making this 'Uberroller mail'- 'overtaken' mail (postal matter accepted by the Third Reich German or German occupied postal authorities and delivered by the Allied Occupation Forces after the German surrender). The cover has been opened and resealed with 'MIL. CEN.-CIVIL MAILS' tape by British military censors, with hand-stamp '13239' censor to lower left corner. As with other covers of this type the applied Hitler stamps remained un-obliterated. Ref: 14.03.1945
