Seldom seen 1942 "Afrika Korps" cover, with reasonable strike of the famous "Palmenstempel" (palm tree cachet), with sender at Field Post #33562 Tobruk. Michel (translated) catalogue notes "Feldpost letters were on occasion adorned with private decorative cachets. They have not postal significance". Included are copies of the relevant Michel catalogue pages, as well as print-outs from a recent Germany auction, showing a similar item. Owner’s 2009 Michel Feldpost catalogue values these at €500.00 to €1000.00 based on scarcity. Estimate =
