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.

Title: German Censorship of incoming mail in late 1938

Message: I recently purchased a pictorial cover from Fiji addressed to Germany, date end October 1938. It has been opened and resealed with a German resealing strip tied by oval Berlin handstamps. When did Germany start censoring incoming mail prior to the start of WWII, and would there be any specific reasons why my cover was singled out, (perhaps because it came from a "non-white" country)?? Any advice welcomed. Bryan Jones.
