1945, Island post, field post letter from January 15, 1945 to Meissen in Saxony with an island post stamp with the overprint "WEIHNACHTEN 1944" (CHRISTMAS 1944) in Type IV on a Rodi postage stamp, as well as with the sender's information: field post number 68066 B = Stab IV Art. Regiment 999 on the island of Rhodes; the letter is opened on both sides and cut at the bottom, a large part of the lower row of teeth was torn off from the acceptance mark due to improper separation, but since island post letters with the Christmas stamp in Type IV are among the rarest forms of island post, these defects can be tolerated; the letter probably flew from Rhodes on the 10th island post flight on January 28, 1945, photo certificate Hanfried Mueller, Michel 7. 500.-
