Rudi Anders, President of the Germany Philatelic Society, shared a presentation with the Philatelic Society of Lancaster County entitled “Censorship of Civilian Mail in Germany During World War II (WWII) – An Introduction.” with an emphasis on Berlin with an overview of the entire system.
Rudi is a specialist in WWII postal history and issues, with a sub-specialty of Immediate Post-WWII postal history. In this primer, he shows early examples from the Boer War and World War I (WWI), describes currency control in the early 1930’s in Germany, then reviews the mechanics of censorship and rules. Finally, Rudi presents a broad array of covers from the WWII period, some common, some scarce – all unique in their own right.
