    German Occupation of Rhodes 1943: Postcard from Rhodes to Malona (South East Rhodes) correctly franked by 1943 surcharged 5 c. on 5 c. lake-red, negligible age spot, and 25 c. green - the latter with 'CENT 25 / PRO / ASSISTENZA / EGEO' overprint inverted variety, neatly tied by RODI / EGEO datestamp (Nov 30) in black, with Military datestamp (Dec 2) alongside. An extremely rare usage: believed to be the sole example of this variety on a commercial cover.
