What a fabulous idea! No one needs to get out their reading glasses to have a look at the contents in this colour picture book of the most valuable artistic stamps from the NS era. Large (several times the size of the originals) and colourful, these are magnificent stamps of buildings, weapons, personalities, major events such as fairs and rallies, anniversaries, etc. - each stamp is factually commented upon and placed in its historical context. In addition, the stamps are thematically organised in mostly large colour photos, so that with the chronologically ordered stamps and the associated photos, a small illustrated history of the Third Reich emerges. In the next volume (volume 2), it shows not only the stamps from the last years of the war, but also the postage stamps of the affiliated or occupied territories, as well as special stamps for field post consignments.
