DEUTSCHES REICH issued in 1934 a commemorative set of Deutsche Nothilfe (German Emergency Fund) charity stamps, also known as the Winter Relief. These stamps featured images representing various trades and professions in Germany, including an office worker, smith, stonemason (shown), miner, architect (shown), farmer (shown), researcher, artist, and judge. This particular cover also has an Deutsche Luftpost (airmail) stamp. Postmark cancellation originated from Charlottenburg (Berlin), 22 November 1934.
This set of stamps is considered to be one of the more sought-after issues from the Third Reich period, and very difficult to find covers.
