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.

Message: Hello. I am trying to identify these three stamps which I believe may be from the late 1940s to 1950s. They appear to be US Army permit stamps, value $1, overprinted in German DMs. What were these used for? The tab with the '70' on it suggest that these stamps were printed by a German printer for the US military. I cannot find anything about them in either SG or Michel specialist catalogues, so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Alex
