GPS June 2020

Image 9, front, no markings on the back
The final example of disrupted German mail originates during the
1990-1991 Gulf War. Image 9 shows a cover mailed from Auerbach,
Germany to Haifa on January 22, 1991. It was returned to the sender,
however, with a label dated January 31, 1991, pasted over the address,
which I translate as “At this time there is no postal service with Israel.”
There are no marking to indicate that it was ever resent to Israel.
I suggest that our readers check their German cover collections to
see if they have other examples of disrupted mail.

Captured Mail.” (2014)
