Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Italian Fascist censored (two-line handstamp and circular R-Questura Modena stamp recto and boxed 2 verso) propaganda postcard, with King Victor Emmanuelle Stamp and “Vinceremo” (“we will win”) imprinted on the postcard, sent to a Professor Maurizio Lowy in Finale-Emilia in the province of Modena. This card was sent in the final phase of Italy’s wholehearted support of the Nazis. Mr. Lowy perhaps served as a conduit for Jews in both Italy and Yugoslavia.
