| 3rd Reich French Org Todt Volunteer 1944 St Nazaire Feldpost Cover Franked French-Spanish feldpost cover from JL de Lagarde from FPN 47474: Organisation Todt Oberbauleitung St. Nazaire. OkW 'y' Lyon censor tape tied with OkW censor reverse. Blue invisinble ink censor, and handstamped '94'; a nice, 'busy' cover. Since the names are different but both are French in origin and the unit is based in the port town of St Nazaire, France at this time, I would guess that the 'volunteer' is French, and sent this cover to a French friend who happens to be in Madrid. Though this is pure conjecture, of course. | $149.00 | |
