WW2 Nazi German Third Reich Munich Feldherrnhalle November 9 Ceremony Postcard Hitler Stamp

Original Third Reich-era German propaganda/art postcard depicting the November 9 commemoration ceremony at the Feldherrnhalle in Munich, dramatically decorated with large Nazi banners, swastika flags, ceremonial standards, massed formations, and crowds.

The reverse identifies the scene:

“München, Haus der Deutschen Kunst”
Paul Hermann
“Feier des 9. November an der Feldherrnhalle in München”

Translation:

“Munich, House of German Art – Paul Hermann – Celebration of November 9 at the Feldherrnhalle in Munich.”

November 9 was an important Nazi commemorative date marking the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, during which Hitler and his followers attempted to seize power in Munich. During the Third Reich, the anniversary developed into a major annual Party ceremony centered around the Feldherrnhalle, with elaborate processions, banners, formations, and memorial observances.

The artwork is credited to Paul Hermann and was published by Verlag Heinrich Hoffmann, München, the publishing operation associated with Hitler’s official photographer Heinrich Hoffmann. It is numbered Nr. 158.

This example was actually postally used and retains its original 6 Pfennig Adolf Hitler definitive postage stamp. Especially desirable is the bold Munich cancellation incorporating a swastika and the wording:

“MÜNCHEN – Hauptstadt der Bewegung”
“Munich – Capital of the Movement.”

The card was mailed to Vienna (Wien) and remains a strong combination of Third Reich propaganda artwork and genuine period postal history.

Condition is as shown, with expected age, handling, corner/edge wear and some staining/toning on the reverse. Please examine all photographs carefully.

A visually impressive and highly collectible original postcard for collectors of Third Reich postcards, Beer Hall Putsch history, Feldherrnhalle material, Munich propaganda, Heinrich Hoffmann publications, Hitler stamps, Nazi postal history, swastika cancellations, and WWII-era German ephemera.
