A Rare First Day Cover Postcard (Tag der Briefmarke), December 12, 1941. Illustration of a Nazi soldier waving the German swastika flag with the title: “!Im Kampf um die Freiheit” – “In the Struggle for Freedom!” On the right side, a German Reich postage stamp is affixed, alongside a postmark featuring a German submarine illustration and the inscription: “Tag der Briefmarke” – Stamp Day, December 12, 1941.

A rare stamp appears at the bottom right, depicting a U-Boat (German submarine)—one of the Kriegsmarine submarines that played a crucial role in World War II, particularly in submarine warfare in the Atlantic Ocean. The German U-boats were a strategic weapon used by the Nazis in their attempt to disrupt Allied supply routes.
