Teutonic efficiency
In a fine display of German efficiency and beauracratic logic the German postal service, Deutsche Post, has delivered a postcard sent from England and addressed to "Furher Adolf Hitler, German Parliament, Berlin, Germany". Deustche Post seem to be proud of the fact they managed to deliver the postcard despite the incorrect address and the notable handicap of the intended recipient being deceased.
I am moved to wonder just what was on the postcard though? 'Dear Adolf, having a wonderful canal boating holiday in Norfolk - you'd love these barges for Operation Sealion. Wish you were here, Oswald.'
"beauracratic logic" - absolutely. And I almost thought it was funny.
ReplyDeleteIf only they would treat my parcels and stuff that way all the time, now that would be something. *rolleyes*
And I really would like to know what was written on that card, too. I never found out if this was a card that got lost somewhen 60 years ago or if a some wit sent it recently.
Well, at least they also noted that the adresser should be informed about the incorrect adress . . .
