Romanian WWII Postcard to Athens 1941 – Greek Censorship Stamp Postal History

Romanian WWII Postcard to Athens with Greek Wartime Censorship Stamp – February 1941 Postal History

Original Romanian postal card (“Carte Poștală”) sent to Athens, Greece during World War II, dated 27 February 1941.

The card bears multiple Romanian postage stamps of the Kingdom of Romania period, including portraits of King Michael I and military-themed issues, together with clear postal cancellations and a notable Greek wartime censorship marking:

“ΛΟΓΟΚΡΙΣΙΑ ΑΘΗΝΩΝ 321”
(“Athens Censorship 321”)

This is an important piece of Balkan / WWII postal history from the period immediately before the German invasion of Greece in April 1941. At the time, Greece was already engaged in the Greco-Italian War and all international correspondence was subject to military censorship by Greek wartime authorities.

Addressed to Athens, Greece (“Athènes / Grèce”), the postcard also contains a fully handwritten Romanian message dated 25 February 1941.

Interesting historical features include:

• Romanian wartime postage stamps
• Greek wartime censorship handstamp
• International WWII correspondence
• Pre-occupation Athens postal history
• Greco-Romanian wartime communication
• Complete postal usage with cancellations and manuscript text

Condition:
Good vintage condition with visible age wear, folds, postal handling marks, stains and edge wear consistent with wartime use and age. Please examine photos carefully.

Dimensions: approx. 15 × 10.5 cm
