Great cancels and POW camp and censorship markings. Very, very rare to see airmail letters from POWs during WW 2. Even rarer is that this one apparently did not have additional postage applied (typically the stamps were removed by camp censors looking for hidden messages)Exceptionally rare piece of postal history.
