Au contraire mon fraire! I have to strongly disagree Jock. These are great. I may be easily impressed, but I like them alot. Particularly the SS specific envelope. Thanks for posting.

Someone was wondering why the had holes punched in them,I found out that some collectors did this so they could keep them in a two ring binder,I have several postcards that are defaced liked that and could never figure out why a collector of covers would do this.I read once this is the way the U.S. would keep up with documents from the Third Riech era,might be evidence for a tiral or what ever.Whomever started this little habit I would like to punch a few holes in them.Any item that has holes punched in them you can knock of 50% or more from the value Cheers operaman

There could possibly be a need for WW2 German filatelia subgroup on this forum.. At least for feldpost issues and letters. But on the other hand this is a vast field..

Kind regards Jan

Jan,

I guess someone at some point had them in a folder?

They were from a stamp collector.
