This is a used postal card with an Austrian commemorative stamp sent from a stamp dealer to my grandfather in Mannheim, Germany.
- Austria was annexed into the German Third Reich on March 12, 1938 and this card is postmarked March 17, 1938, merely 5 days later.

Heil Hitler!
Yours, Marken-Schneider
