Germany: Braunschweig

On 12th September I got six postcards including four from Germany. 

One of them shows various views of my home town. I actually bought this card in the hope of a special postmark for the 275th anniversary of my university, but due to Covid-19 all festivities were cancelled. So now I have used this card for something different. 

75 years ago the first stamps of the occupied Germany were issued, the AM-Postmarken. At first they were printed in Washington and London, but later they were also printed here in Braunschweig. A special stamp was issued for this jubilee on 3rd September, of which I used two on this card, one with the the special postmark from Berlin and one cancelled here in Braunschweig.
