Sc513 is a 1941 Third Reich Germany issue stamp block that has been overprinted in May 1945 It is I believe counter

#7210 is unused, fully gummed, and is not hinged. It is not signed.
When the small towns and cities of Czechoslovakia were liberated at the end of WWII, During the first
week of May, a decision needed to be made as to how to supply the population with usable postage stamps
for their mail. A system was put into place where the local postmaster would counter stamp the postage
covering the portrait of Hitler or whatever else was on a stamp so it could be used. This system was in
place for a few short weeks until the New Czech Republic could issue postage of their own.
I'm unable to locate a Michel specialized catalog to help me identify these counter stamps. I'm using a variety
of methods including ebay listings, information from several collectors, The labeling system in the
very old album that these stamp were in.
