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 have covers with cancellations of the Hotel Astoria, Leipzig and Hotel Adlon, Berlin. Can anyone assist with details of the dates of operation of these Post Offices or provide information regarding the establishment of postal agencies in German hotels?
