Post office goes by rules and delivers Hitler card
Telegraph
By Kate Connolly in Berlin
(Filed: 11/02/2005)

The German post office has displayed its adherence to the rulebook by delivering a card addressed "Adolf Hitler, Reichstag" to the current seat of government in Berlin.

The postcard - sent from Britain and addressed to "Führer Adolf Hitler, Reichstag, German Parliament, Berlin" - was forwarded to the Bundestag this week.

The post office had efficiently stamped it with the remark: "mail corrected due to wrong address, please alert the sender".

It had printed the "correct address", Deutscher Bundestag, 11011 Berlin, on the base of the card.
