Real Photo RPPC from the proto-Reichsparteitag (Deutscher Tag) in Nuernberg in 1923, two months before the Beer Hall Putsch. Not exclusively for Nazi's, they were the largest group taking part (Rawlings & Passmore, 1980). Hitler gave an hour-long keynote, the SA marched, and Goering's Deutscher Kampfbund started here (only to be extinguished after the failed Putsch). Extremely rare 1923 RPPC of Hitler at his first 'rally'. In top condition.

Rare, very early (ca1923 -- probably at the Deutscher Tag Rally), Real Photo RPPC of Hitler and SA man (some of you historians who are better than me can perhaps identify him). In top condition.

Original German Kuehn Zeppelin aerial view card flown on the Graf Zeppelin airship's 1932 1. Suedamerikafahrt / 1st South American flight, with Bordpost / on-board cancel. Slightly worn, very good condition, as per scans. Even better, this is from the estate of the nephew of Oberingenieur Karl Beuerle, a lead mechanic on the Zeppelin. A long-time airman, having survived serving in various WWI Zeppelin airships, he was with the Graf from the start (we have several pioneer usages as well!). We were lucky enough to purchase the entire Zeppelin collection of the nephew, who took all of "Onkel Karl's" correspondence and added to it with many further flights. Most of Beuerle's letters/cards go back to his hometown of Esslingen, either to immediate family or to the family of his friend Gottfried Braun. Unlisted in Michel as real on-board mail (from the day of arrival!) -- Michel only lists Bordposts sent from Frankfurt.. documented crew mail from on board is real his...
