Hello,

I wanted to list German's stamps of 1947, but can't find any category for these : is it missing or am I just too "..." to find it ?
Thank,
Corinne

bonjour corinne,
you would probably list your stamps under the 'allied occupation' category as most of these issues were created by these governments. this included the american, british, french, and soviet issues.

Thank Bill,

I knew you would have an answer.

I'm speaking about Scott #530 ... 664 : they are not listed in Scott as occupation stamps.

Corinne

hi corinne,
yes, i understand what you mean. i also see that separate listings for the berlin issues and east germany are present in the scott german section too. and that may be a reason for this. these stamps were probably for use in the liberated zones not occupied by the soviets. by the by, your husband is german, wouldn't he know more of the history of this period than me. my german ancestry is far beyond this time and the wars. michel would be the more definitive catalog to use. do you have one? if not, i may have one of the earlier ones. email me and i will let you know.

a bientot,
cajunsr.

I final found them in an old Michel catalog : you're right (as always).

They have been used under "allied occupation/ allemagne occupationinter alliee/ Gemeinschaftsausgaben US/UK & Soviet zone.

Thank,

Corinne

hi corinne,
i only became aware of the michel german catalog a few years ago. and have obtained a few more of other countries when i get the chance. the only problem is i cannot speak german and am very lazy to use the 'fish' or my translator programs. they don't work very well. but i know you translate german, so i may use your talent from time to time little sister.
