Post Anschluss incoming mail: 29.1.39 airmail cv on Central Zionist Union of Vienna stationary ex VIENNA to HAIFA, franked 45pf using German Hindenburg franks (last date for privately held Austran franks was 31 Dec. '38; thereafter devalued), for 25pf overseas airmail + 15pf for additional 20g weight; tied by 2 strikes of local pmk; back-flap missing.
