[Below: While we're on the subject, here are some Mother's Day related postal material from Austria. Besides, Austria is a part of Germany, stripped from Germany to weaken it. Both of these are from 1936.]

[Below: Okay, I might as well throw this one onto the heap. This is from from Austria, but flew to its destination on a balloon. It was sent on October 25, 1948 and arrived a week later in Salzburg on November 2nd, from there I'm guessing it was either taken by air or boat to 'Cypern' (Cyprus).]

[Below: Not exactly Mother's Day, but close enough. 'Gute Nacht, Mutter!' (Good Night, Mother!).]

[Below: Again, not Mother's Day, but close enough. This is from November 16, 1933 and says:

'Hilfswerk Mutter und kind
Trag dazu bei!
Werde Mitglied der NSV!'

(Mother and child relief organization
Make a contribution!
Become a member of the NSV!).
The NSV is short for 'Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt' (National Socialist People's Welfare).]
