Together, this results in a franking of 4.20 Kronen, which appears to be a contemporary postal rate combination. The stamps bear the portrait of Adolf Hitler and the bilingual state designation “Böhmen und Mähren – Čechy a Morava”. Several clear “PRAHA 6” date stamps dated 2.V.45 tie the franking to the envelope.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-right: 98.05pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eOn the left is the original registration label:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-right: 98.05pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e“Prag 6 \/ Praha 6 – 847”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-right: 98.05pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eas well as the large Czech marking “Doporučeně!” for registered mail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-right: 98.05pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eIt is precisely the very late date of use, May 2, 1945, that makes this item historically particularly interesting: it was mailed only a few days before the collapse of German rule in the Protectorate and the end of the war in Europe.
