    Legion Condor envelope?

    Hello all,

    Got this envelope in a postal lot I received.
    Handwritten on the envelope is 'Spanienverband'.
    So this envelope passed through hands which identificated it as Legion Condor mail.

    Does anybody knows if the Condor mail went through Italy?
    Because I am a bit puzzeled why the stamp and cancellation both are Italic and the envelope should be Condor related.

    Hope someone can show a light on this!

    Best regards,
    Martin

      Hi Martin,

      In my oppinon the words "SPANIEN VERBAND 13" (very likely postwar) is a reference to the addressee's ship "Panzerschiff Deutschland", which took part in the German engagement in Spain. So maybe Panzerschiff Deutschland was part of Spanien Verband 13? Anyone else?

        Yes, I also do think 'Spanien Verband 13' has been written on the envelope after the war, I just could not see a connection with the Italian cancellation.

        But I think you hit the nail on the head, the addressee is Legion Condor related, not the sender.
        How could I overlook?
        Thanks for your help, I really appreciate!

        Best regards,
        Martin
