Adolf Hitler Koog - postcard set from my collection

[tradesecrets]

Hi!
I am building up my Third Reich postcard collection and have just got this item I'd like to share with you all.
It's an original and unused postcard set with all the postcards still in place and still attached to the 'souvenir wallet' of Adolf Hitler Koog.

Adolf Hitler Koog was a land reclaimation and building project (from 1935) used by the NSDAP to demonstrate the 'perfect' Nazi way of living and how the concept of 'lebensraum' would be carried out in practice.

hope you like the postcards!

Today it's Dieksanderkoog, and the Neulandhalle is a youth center of the church.

There is an interesting article about it on Wikipedia for those of you who are interested in finding out more

Among the items for the Adolf Koog village in my collection, this is the Sonderstempel used for 1938, 39, 40, and 41. It's interesting to note that this is the only city, town, or village that Hitler graced with his name. We know that Germany was replete with streets and Platz that bore the name of Hitler.
