To remedy the shortage of postage stamps in autumn 1945, the OPD. Dresden decreed that in addition to the few remaining Dresden stamps, the issues of other cities and provinces of the Russian occupation zone in Dresden also had franking value. Occupation zone had franking value in Dresden. Mixed frankings of the remaining single values of the Dresden I issue cut or cancelled with single values of the precious issues of Meissen, Glauchau, Löbau, Görlitz or Niesky etc. were therefore not gimmicks, but are valuable covers of the first Saxon city stamps on genuinely used registered covers and interesting contemporary documents for the serious collector.'

The senders address on Hermann Göring-Ufer. Now called the Untermainkai. The street in Frankfurt traces the waterfront promenade and harbor facilities between the Alter Brücke and Friedensbrücke. From 1933 to 1945 renamed Hermann Göring-Ufer after the Reich Marshal Hermann Göring. Ref: 12.07.1938 - 15/84 Deutsche Frauenwerk (DFW) The Deutsche Frauenwerk (DFW) was a National Socialist women's association that was created in October 1933. In addition to the Nazi women's association, it served as a gathering place for the members of the aligned women's associations of the Weimar Republic. These included nationalist and conservative-oriented women's associations such as the Queen Luise Association, Evangelisches Frauenwerk, the Sisterhood of the German Red Cross and the Reich Association of German Housewives. Although the DFW, as a registered association with its own assets, was not formally subordinate to the NSDAP, it was affiliated with the party as a 'supervised association'. DFW and the NS Women's Association, which was directly subordinate to the NSDAP, were closely linked organisations because the Reich Women's Leader Gertrud Scholtz-Klink was at the head of both organisations. Around 1.7 million women were organised in the DFW and around 2.3 million in the NS women's association. The 'Reich Mothers’ Service', which was jointly supported by both organisations and temporarily resided at the Essener Hof in Essen, achieved the greatest broad impact. It organised so-called 'mother training courses' across the Reich, which were attended by 1.14 million women in 54,000 courses from 1934 to 1937 alone. In the area of child-rearing, the teaching basis was the widely used book The German Mother and Her First Child by Johanna Haarer. From 1935 to 1941, the Leipzig publishing house Otto Beyer published the series 'Women's Culture in the German Women's Work' (circulation 1939: 23,500 copies). In 1937, the DFW organised the exhibition 'The Thrifty Housewife' at the Green Week in Berlin. With the Control Council Act No. 2 ( Dissolution and Liquidation of Nazi Organizations ) of 10th October 1945, the German Women's Association was banned by the Allied Control Council and its property was confiscated. Source: Wikipedia (Kreis) Abteilungsleiter Abteilungsleiter ( section leader ), German for department head, was also a mid-level administrative political position of the Nazi Party, often held by staff political officers attached to various Gaue throughout Germany. The position of Abteilungsleiter was not an actual Nazi Party political rank, but a title held by a Party member in addition to their formal rank. The position was first created in 1933, after the Nazis had secured power in Germany. A rank of Unterabteilungsleiter also existed, literally Junior Section Leader'. From 1933 to 1939, there was no outward insignia to denote the position of Abteilungsleiter. This changed upon the outbreak of World War II, when a new system of political armbands were created to denote the position of 'Department Leader' to which the former title of Abteilungsleiter was incorporated.
