These are scans of the front and back of a cover that was sent from Canada to the International Red Cross on the 25th of March 1944 it was censored in the UK but then also in the [b]Netherlands[/b].

I have never seen this before and have no idea how this cover went into the Netherlands and why it was censored there appaently not by the German Censors.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Sorry about the above I have just realised that the censor is [b][u]South African[/u][/b] not Dutch.

Interesting cover, surely the question is now, why was a letter sent to the Red Cross in Switzerland, routed through South Africa. Interestingly as well is that it did not receive any "treatment" from the German authorities as well.
