Telegram where by the sender asks I. Saketo to inform him of the supporting documents required to join the police force. The telegram had been sent during the German-Italian occupation of Greece, between the years 1942 and 1943 when the Italians surrendered, and it bears the Italian censor stamp "Commando Superiore F.F.A.A. Grecia Verificato (8) Cencura Grecia" down right. The date follows from the Italian censor stamp and the absence of the crown in the Coat of arms of TTT. In the beginning, and for some months, the Occupation forces used the Greek censor stamp or did not censor the telegrams at all. However, as of mid-1941 and until the withdrawal of foreign troops, the Italian and German censorship was imposed on the telegrams. It is worth noting that after a few months, the Occupation forces printed new telegram forms, removing the crown from the Coat of arms of TTT.
