27 postcards and covers, 1941-43
Postcards: all supposedly ‘serviced’ in Jersey. Each has vivid Photo-Hoffmann photos of Hitler (and two with Mussolini) but there are obvious reprints using modern paper, fresh stamps from stockbooks, and original or scanned handstamps. As if to confirm this, three of the postcards are addressed to Karl Hennig in Munich, who produced so much of this faux material. However, as Ebay shows, these postcards still popular as collectable items. Covers: three 3 Red Cross/Deutsches Rotes Kreuz letters between GB and occupied Guernsey during WW2. In the standard form, meant for two-way correspondence. All the letters were properly stamped with German, Swiss, and British authorities.
