22.01.1944. Letter with contents sent from Fp.58154 Gendarmerie Bezirksfuhrer Bjelovar via Fp.58639 B - Kommandeur der Gendarmerie Agram (Dienststelle cancel) to Wien in the Reich (Vienna, Austria). SS censorship cancel AS in green colour. Gendarmerie Bezirksfuhrer Bjelovar was a local "district gendarmerie station" in the town of Bjelovar. I have seen only one letter before mailed from an Gendarmerie Bezirksfuhrer, I published it here a year ago. That letter was mailed locally from Gendarmerie Bezirksfuhrer Zlatar to Biškupec,Varaždin and it had no content. This letter to Wien has text inside. It is written in German and writter confirms his feldpost address in the letter as Fp.58154

THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE LETTER !
