There is a faint rectangular outline around the logo (most visible at the top of the logo) like a typographic block might make - mostly an impression in the paper. But whether this is added after the fact or was part of the original printing is difficult to say.
Adding this logo after the fact seems like a lot of effort (note it matches the cancel) for little return.
Alternatively, the outline might come from the removal of a covering label, but if so, there appears to be no trace of adhesive.
Think this banned logo might simply have slipped through the mails?
What do you think?

I believe so.
But very interesting.
I have seen these kind of envelopes partly blacked out (mostly only the swastika)
About that school. Here a picture from the 1920's and one from the 2000's

I can't imagine that it could just "slip through" with such a prominent emblem. It's either a rare survivor or something more problematic. I have a bookmark somewhere regarding mail arrangements during the Allied Occupation. Although this cover isn't censored, it would have passed through Allied hands. I would believe it would be defaced as a matter of course.
The text indicates the local NSDAP group was based in the school during the war.
Hockeynut, I love the comparison images!

Like this :
But look at the date : 19-06-1949 between 16:00 and 18:00 hours canceled.
And what about this :
Cancellation on 21-05-1965 Queen Elizabeth visiting Munchen on a postcard from 1938
(The 5th anniversary of the Assumption of Power by the Nazis)
Are they FAKE?
I do not know the first one?
And what about the second one?
So I still believe that the letter in the first post could be slipped through the censorship.

Here is a cover that doesn't seem quite right, but speculations welcome:
