Austria Anschluss lot of three (3) covers with 4/10/38 special slogan cancel: Three attractive philatelic covers, each a mixed franking, each with well struck slogan cancel "One People, One Nation, One Leader," all cancelled 4/10/38, less than one month after the Anschluss. One franking includes portion of Germany Scott B107a booklet pane, and another includes lower left portion of Germany Scott B102 souvenir sheet. Both desirable and uncommon Anschluss frankings, very clean. Covers with a touch of wrinkling/crinkling from storage.

On March 12, 1938, the German army invaded Austria without resistance. Hitler arrived later that day. On March 15, 1938, Hitler gave a speech in Vienna and officially declared that Austria was now part of the German Empire, the event known as the Anschluss, and meaning "joining" or "connecting", or in English, "annexation." Creating and sending covers memorializing this historic and nationalistic event by using mixed frankings was a popular thing to do, especially by and to stamp collectors. The historical significance of the Anschluss is undenaible, and these covers speak to this precarious and tragic time in world history. The covers spark a discussion and epitomize the value of philately as a wonderful tool to teach history, the good and the bad. At B & D Stamp Corp., we are more than just philatelists, we are students of history and geography, and we endeavor to share our passion for the hobby with all of our customers. See scans. As shown; as is.
