Set of Third Reich Commemorative Postal Cards (Postkarten) - A set of pre-printed German postal cards (Postkarten) with integral franking, produced for various commemorative and party occasions of the 1930s. Subjects include ”Reichsparteitag Nürnberg 1934,” ”Nationaler Feiertag 1934,” ”Reichstagung 1938,” and views of the Frauenkirche Dresden, the Reichsbank Frankfurt, and other public buildings, with several cards bearing the imprinted head of Paul von Hindenburg or an eagle-and-swastika device as postage. Such government-issued stationery was produced in large runs to commemorate party rallies, national holidays, and civic events, and circulated widely through the ordinary postal system of the period, making them a common reference source for collectors of Third Reich ephemera. These postal cards reflect the everyday bureaucratic and propaganda apparatus of the Nazi state, which used state-run postal stationery to mark party rallies such as the Nuremberg Reichsparteitag and national commemorations like the ”Tag der nationalen Arbeit.” The inclusion of Paul von Hindenburg's portrait, as Reich President until his death in 1934, alongside Nazi Party emblems reflects the transitional period in which the old conservative establishment and the new regime's symbolism coexisted on official state issues. Such items circulated as ordinary mail and provide a documentary record of the regime's efforts to embed its imagery and calendar of commemorations into daily civic life.
