The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).

The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.

Message: Bill Normally during this period postcards with a propaganda value that do not have any printer's credits i.e. Photos of Hitler and such,are usually hand outs to promote the Anschluss. In this case I would think that it is a normal postcard of Vienna sold to tourists, then cancelled to order twice. The 3gr rate was the Austrian printed mater rate, while the 1pfg Hindenburg definitive was the lowest value that could be used for favour cancellations. it is likely that this card never saw a post box.
