In 1936 a rarely seen German souvenir sheet with a stamp depicting a horse race. The 42 pfennig sheet (Scott #B90) was sold with a surcharge to raise money for funding a 100,000 mark sweepstakes prize in the Munich race ("Munchen Riem 1936"). How much money was raised through sales of this brown sheet? I am not sure . But it's a fine - and elusive - topical item.
Wmk.237 appears on the stamp with "Munchen Riem 1936" water marked on the Souvenier sheet
