15.11.1943 letter from Glina  to a Croatian soldier in Laz(arett) der Luftwaffe abt. VI. In Bayeruth in Bavaria, Germany. Title written on letter is 'Legionar' . At that time in Croatia all Croatian soldiers serving with German forces were called Legionares, but such title is extremely rarly seen on mail. Whether this soldier served with Croatian Air Legion or Croatian(Kroatische) flak legion remains unknown . Letter is franked with blue stamp "BORBA", this stamp is rarely seen on covers. Officialy this stamp was pulled from use on 31.05.1942. but this cover proves that in war time postal regulations were often ignored.
