The exchange control did not open every letter. The opened ones were sealed with tape as shown in this example. Covers not opened were usually marked to show that they had been seen, often this was only the inspector's personal numeral cachet. Occasionally a special handstamp was used including the word 'Freigegeben' (released) or just in handwriting 'gut' (good).
