I didn't know Amalgamated Confusion was a collaborator. nor do I know much about Chuck's process. This is my first mail art from him, I think, but I am delighted to be corresponding.
I noticed the Trump stamp and the german words and wanted to know more. This is what I learned!
Operation Cornflakes was a morale operation by the Office of Strategic Services during World War II that aimed to trick Deutsche Reichspost into inadvertently delivering anti-Nazi propaganda to German citizens through mail.[1]
The operation involved special planes that were instructed to airdrop bags of false, but properly addressed, mail in the vicinity of bombed mail trains. When recovering the mail during clean-up of the wreck, the postal service would hopefully confuse the false mail for the real thing and deliver it to the various addresses.[1]

Of course I will send more stamps and info. Soon!
