My favorite 3rd Reich Propaganda Postcard EVER! - What's yours?

[johninhb]

Hi everyone,

I've been collecting original 3.Reich Propaganda postcards for almost 20 years.
And of all the cards that I have handled, this is my ABSOLUTE favorite!
That's not easy to say, as there are a lot of nice cards out there, but this is #1 for me.

Please show us your absolute favorite 3rd Reich Propaganda postcard!

Best regards,
John

PS: I bought this card about 15 years ago, and have never seen another example offered since.

Very nice, I've never seen it before.

It's quite a strong picture with what I see as having the threat of violence which although true, is not common in the peace time propoganda.

Regards,
Chris.

PS, I'm sure the political boys down stairs would like a link to this thread.

Hi Chris,

Yes, I agree. It's quite a bold card for the early years. It has real usage from 1934, making it probably a 1932-1934 card.
I've never seen another example offered anywhere else, nor have I seen it pictured in any 3rd Reich Postcard book.
I believe it to be quite scarce in the true sense of the word!

Best regards,
John

PS: It would also make a great card for SA dagger collectors, but the blade may have been re-sharpened

Hi John,

I have the card as you have shown above. I also have the same graphics in the form of a vignette on a cover. Love seeing your example.

This is among the rarest cards I have in the Hitler portrait niche of my collections.

Only a handful exist. Hoffmann nr. 424

One my absolute favorites.

[Br. James]

Stunning, Ramon! Yet another one I've never seen before! Is it a RPT card?

Br. James

[ramon]

Yes, this card is a RPT themed card. The card exists in fewer than a dozen examples by all accounts. It was never really issued and was pulled from any circulation. There is a much more common card issued later using Hoffmann nr. 424 showing Hilter's portrait.

Very nice Ramon and John. Always expect to see something special from you.

I also have a hard time choosing but I really like this one. Not up there on the rarity scale like yours but it's a decent one.

Curt,

I knew we'd be hearing from you. That is a VERY nice one that escapes my collection.

Hey John and Curt...how long before someone posts a Hohlwein design?? There are some really delicious possibilities...
