Vilnius 1939



Relating to my yesterday's post, I just wanted to post this postcard (unfortunately postally unused). It's a postcard probably published either on 1939 or 1940, with a picture of the Lithuanian Army entering Vilnius on 28 October 1939. Technically, Vilnius was under Lithuanian sovereignty from 10 October but the Soviet Army handed out the city only on 28 October. I would assume that the postal service between 10 and 28 October would have been processed by the Soviet but I do not have any source confirming it.
