Censorship Markings

Roman Sobus tells me that mail leaving the local town was always censored during WWI and some of the wars immediately following. While censorship markings are usually illegible, here are some examples that are clearer than usual:

• From Kronenberg scan V7_P60. This is from an item marked “druk”, which I believe marks it as a wrapper of some sort.
  
  “Druk” is also used for any advertising material (e.g., an advertisement enclosed in a cover.)
