Tauragnai 1943



It's a card sent in 1943 from Tauragnai to München/Munich, Germany. The name "Tauragnai" might make you think of Tauragė but it has nothing to do with it at least geographicly, it is a small town in Utena county with not more than 600 of population. This also explains why the German authority did not bother rename the town in a German manner (but not surprisingly, it has a polish name: Tauroginy), thus, using the old 1st Republic postmark with the Lithuanian name of the town.
