Description: Some history. "Memel" is an area of Prussia in the Baltic states area. Prussia is an area of eastern Germany until the end of WWI 1919 where it was taken away from Germany. Eventually Memel was annexed by Lithuania. Hitler wanted Memel back, and annexed the area back into Nazi Germany. In 1945 Memel was bombed heavily by the allies and of course ended up as part of the losing side when the USSR came in to rape and pillage. At that point in 1945, Memel went back to being part of Lithuania and of course was under the controlof the USSR for many years. This stamp is Used / cancelled.
