In the summer of 1940 invade Soviet Red Army Tallinn and Estonia. This letter is postmarked Tallinn 22.XI.40 and sent to Pärnumaal and have a contents, writing in Estonian. A interesting letter from this time.
An historical cover, for sure. My wife and I visited a museum in Tallinn in 2013 that documented the Estonian resistance to the Russian occupation. A difficult time for Estonia, and it's neighbors.
Here a other cover from the chaotic time in Estonia, This is probable a fantasy cover, franked with 16pf Hitler Ostland and overprint with a handstamp Feldpost Reiceiver Ewald Hain was a well-known philatelist in Estonia. What is this 5c in red circle?
Here a page from my collection "Occupation in Estonia during the war 1939-1945" Postcard showing Sowiet triumhal parade in Tallinn. Triangular letter from prisoner camp in Segesha to Tallinn.
The red 5c in a circle on Rolle's second cover is actually the postal zone number. 5c was the zone for the Baltics and hearby Occupied Russian territory during the war. See the maps on the german Wikipedia page http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_..._Deutschland
Three years ago, I was in the "Museum of the occupations" on the slopes of Toompea, Tallinn. A very interesting, and moving place. But I supose it has something to do with myself being fighting for my own country`s (Catalonia) freedom.
