 | Lot #563 POLAND Generalgouvernement - WWII German Occupation 1943 two uprated 12pf stationery cards, sent from Krakow to the Swedish Red Cross in Stockholm, fine-v.f. In one, the sender acknowledges the receipt of a "Liebesgabe" relief food package, and asks for a similar package to be sent to her brother, a Polish refugee in Romania (acknowledgement cards addressed to Swedish Red Cross are scarcer than similar cards addressed to Portugal.

Polish - Swedish Relations During The Second World War" by Pawel Jaworski)  | $260.00 Bidding Closed |
