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.
I recently purchased 2 covers in the auction one of which I have attached. I would be interested in members thoughts on how these covers were achieved as they were not valid. The second has Ukraine occupation (mi.1 to 12) . Also how Gerhard returned to Berlin as early as September 1945. The address appears to be a private building. Any observations welcome.
