Allied Military Government - Venezia Giulia. 1946, lettera espresso del 12.2 spedita fermo posta da Trieste ad Arzene (Udine) con 2 l. e 5 l. soprastampati; l'ufficio di partenza ha considerato questa affrancatura come insufficiente e così pure la richiesta di recapito espresso, trattandosi di una destinazione fermo posta, ed ha inoltre riscontrato che la lettera era di due porti, perciò il porto giusto sarebbe stato 8 l. più 3 l. per il fermo posta, e di conseguenza fu tassata per 5 lire con tre francobolli RSI compressi due espressi da 1,25 l. e "Fratelli Bandiera" 2,50 l., annullati in arrivo. Combinazione ed uso raro. (Image)

British Occupations » Dodecanese. 1943 (Sept) Cover from an Italian military soldier in Leros to Corato, a locality in the South of Italy, showing Leros censorship with "Il Capo Centro Documentale/Ten. Col. Raffaele Garofalo" on front, placed on board a submarine heading for Egypt, censorships on front and back applied in Cairo and treated as it was mail from P.O.W.'s before onward transmission to destination. A very rare and fascinating mail. Cert. Marchese (1994).
Note: The British presence in the Dodecanese commenced in Leros -and surprisingly already in 1943- where they disembarked on 16.9.43 to support the Italians in view of an imminent German attack. There was only one dispatch of Italian correspondence which was carried by a British submarine which left Leros on 28.9.43, and evidently the mail to Italy could only be delivered to the area under control of the Allies, in the south of the country. Later, on 12 November, the Germans will attack the Island and will capture 3,200 British. (Image)

German Occupation of the Aegean Islands. 1943 (Oct-Nov) Group of seven items on exhibition pages, featuring the resistance of the Italian troops against the Germans in Leros and Samos (from the Armistice until Nov. 1943). This lot includes the earliest (1.10) and the latest date (11.11) recorded of the mails from Leros and Samos carried through the P.M.62. The British presence in the Dodecanese commenced in Leros -and surprisingly already in 1943- where they disembarked on 16.9 to support the Italians against the Germans; apart from the first dispatch of Italian mail which was carried by a British submarine which left Leros on 28.9.43 (see lot 20436), the later mails were sent as opened correspondence through the P.M. 62 in Samos, then carried by British means to destinations in Italy only under the control of the Allies. As the small contingent of British in the Dodecanese were defeated on 12.11.43, this mail only was only functioning for one month and a half, and the latest dispatch is dated 11.11. This material is of great scarcity. (Image)

1943 (Dec 28) 30c on yellowish bilingual reply stationery postcards including both parts although detached, the front side addressed to Anzio, upfranked for the airmail rate with Aegean 5oc, tied by Rhodes dispatch cds's and red German censorship markings. The Allies disembark at Anzio on 22.1.44 with the purpose of heading for taking Rome, and the Battle of Anzio (in Anzio and Nettuno) lasted until 24 May; as a result of the Battle, this item was not possible to be delivered, with the addressee being cancelled by traces of blue ink, and only on 23.9.44, almost ten months later after dispatch, the back side was struck with a cds of Nettunia (the locality at that time which englobed Anzio and Nettuno), with English blue cachets struck in Cairo (Egypt), thus following a completely different route through territories not controlled by the Axis. Some faults of no importance for this item. An extraordinary usage with high interest from both the postal and historical points of view, as the card used different routes on the outgoing and incoming legs, and Anzio was one of the key operations of the Allies in Europe in WWII.
