Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
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: I verified my assumption in Nazi-Deutsch Nazi German by Robert Michael and Karin Doerr (Greenwood Press, 2002), p. 253. While "KL" was the official abbreviation for the German word for "concentration camp" (Konzentrationslager), KZ was much used by the SS and by opponents of the Nazi regime. The proceeds from the Storkow blocks were supposed to go to former camp inmates.
