    From these images, it appears to be a poorly printed or stamped signature.

      Hi Jim,

      I like your post card; it has the feel of Hitler signing at an event as he was moving around the crowd. These kinds of cards were sold in great quantities at public events across Germany and folks bought them in the hope that they might get the person pictured to autograph it for them. And the often succeeded! Very nice piece, with a life of its own.

        Max - This is as close as I can get with my camera without going out of focus.
        On the original you can trace the pen line across the card.
        Don't know if this helps or hinders.
        Sorry
        Jim

          Jim,
          Thanks, that helps actually. To an experienced eye it's certainly a stamped or printed signature, not handwritten. It has all the usual hallmarks....air bubbles, no crossovers, indefinite edging, lack of flow. Added to these, the ink is the usual found on this type of stamped card and nothing like the ink used by Hitler. Although I can't be definite without examining it, it's almost certainly a post-war reproduction.
          Max.
