Lot #4330
GERMAN WORLD WAR II OCCUPATION ISSUES German WWII Fieldpost - U-Boat "Hela"
1945 cover franked with the U-Boat adhesive, canceled Feldpost 03.4.45, addressed to Hamburg, with violet "Briefstempel Offentliche Feldpost Nummer 18305 D", showing return address of "Feldw. Kurt Hinnrichs M/18 305 P Marinepoststampt Berlin", minor cover tears and folds, still fine and extremely rare usage (in early 1945, the German 31st Infantry Division was trapped on the Hel Peninsula, a heavily fortified 35-km long sand bar peninsula off of Gdansk, Poland. In March 1945, the Hela U-Boat stamp was printed by the Division's mapping unit, intended for use on mail transported by U-boats supplying the Germans. Since conventional naval traffic never ceased, the stampd were not used as intended, but are sometimes found used on surface mail),
