I have a cover - official and registered from "Kommando des Seefliegerkorps" in Pola - to Vienna in 1918.There is 15 heller postage due stamp affixed. I am curious to know why this stamp was affixed as it surely is a cover on Official service. And why 15 heller?
I tried to upload the image but even though I have scanned in black ans white the image exceeded 300Kbits.

you can lower the file size by lowering the resolution in your scanner software settings.

Or you can try the included image optimizer when you compose a message. I took a 1.5 meg file but the image optimizer reduced it to below 300K in a couple of seconds.

Sometimes the Feldpost "Free" concessions did not apply, it depends on date and location. Was the date AFTER the war ended? I think Austria-Hungary signed a separate armistice with the allies 3 Nov 1918 (effective 4 Nov) so maybe free postal concessions did not apply...
