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: Paul-Juergen Hueske, Deutsches Reich: Die Gebuehren im Deutschen Reich 1933-1945, 2d ed. (Berlin: INFLA Buecherei, 1995), p. 71 states that ancillary rates in Austria were not changed between March 13, 1938 and July 31, 1938. Therefore, Hueske shows the express rate as 30 Gr or 20 Rpf. for this period. This statement seems to be correct, judging from two mixed franks between government bulk mail markings and stamps in my collection. The two covers have a 30 Gr stamp each and date from March 24, 1938, and July 14, 1938. A quick look at the March 26, 1938, regulation in the Amtsblatt des Reichspostministeriums further supports Hueske's list of rates. Nothing was said about supplementary or ancillary rates.
