Telšiai 1941


This is the local "liberation" overprint of Telšiai, issued in 1941. According to Michel, it corresponds to #6 type II. The date in the overprint is when Telšiai has been "liberated" by the germans. They are reports of the use of this stamp in some villages outside Telšiai but it is not clear where exactly this stamp was valid. In most of the case, the postmark used to cancel this stamp is the one from the first republic as it is shown in this post. Only 9000 stamps have been printed for this #6.
