Those Hitler stamps with Šiauliai/Schaulen precancellation were used mainly as proof of payment for prepaid postal services sometime between 1941 and 1945. In this case, it is a copy of a receipt of an insured registered shipment from Šiauliai. There are few other places that have used those local precanceled stamps, the most famous one within Ostland were the ones of Peetri, Estonia. How they used those precancellations, are not entirely clear but each location has not used them for the exact same purposes.
Acquired both on Ebay, 2005 and 2007.
