Czech Covers

Hi All

I have these 2 Czechoslovakian covers and was wondering about their usage. Are the cancellations some kind of commemoration type? Are they scarce, rare or common. I notice one mentions the fuhrer so I guess it is a special commemorative type?

Well, actually the second cover is from the German Protectorate of Bohemia & Moravia (nowadays, the Czech Republic). Slovakia was a puppet "free" state, under German "protection". The postmark, celebrates the 50 th anniversary of Adolf Hitler.
I've no idea of the first postmark meaning, but it is fom two days after the German occupation of Prag, on March 15th 1939.

Two philatelic covers. The address was likely added later to give the covers some value.

Thanks for that cursus

I also thought that they were philatelic in nature and especially so because both covers are addressed to the same person.

The first postmark is for Hitler's visit to occupied Czechoslovakia immediately after the Germans invaded on 15 March 1939.

Thanks rugface.

I knew it was a commemorative cancel of some type. Czechoslovakia is not my area of expertise and I got them from a large auction lot of over 200 WW covers some years ago.
