The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).
The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.
Hello,
In Alf Harper's book "Philately of the Third Reich and his original 1966 work he states that the 1933 Frederick booklet panes whole sheets were sold complete at the philatelic counter of the Berlin and Munich post offices and that they were not the same printing as those used for the regular booklets.
Does anyone know of any documentation about this as I have never known any differences between the "regular" and "special" printings - if they exist.
Thanks, Bob Jones
