Cover is franked with overprinted stamp used for occupied Ukraine. The Reichkommisariat Ukraine was the civilian occupation regime, administered at this time by Erich Koch, with control over both Gestapo and police. Its capital was the city of Rovno. Einsatzgruppe C and D were both active in the Reichkommissariat Ukraine. Koch was particularly brutal, and was found guilty of war crimes, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Poles and Jews.
