The second card dated 1945 (23 Apr.) with the camp censor handstamp in purple with Kondo seal, faint Japanese c.d.s. (21.8), circular Egyptian censor, double-circle "M/41" censor of Aden and unidentified censor, no German censor and the war in Europe had ended. A fine and interesting pair of cards.
