Letter of the French sailor Serge Comnet of the Peniche Guny in Toulon to Berlin-Spandau to a French forced female convict to the camp Mertensstrasse.
The presumably simple town coat of arms prepaid postage has fallen with diversenen camp-, censorship- and return - remarks, in which, for the many processing stations. Inside the fact it seems that remarks as "departed without detail of the address" or " . . . fewest late forced labor convict isn't in the camp any more " very perfidious.
Letters to the store Mertensstrasse are extremely rare!
An unusual piece corresponding to the circumstances in one good preservation!

You can see here one of the very rare yearbooks 1947 of the Allied Control Council authorities plus the small gift card, as a thanksgiving for the international participants of the UPU Congress in Paris in 1947 .The book is complete, with all the cellophane interleaves and in unusually good , first-class condition with no defects ! Minimal pressure points on the edges of the front cover of the book are mentioned .
As you can read on the back , these books were made in the State Printing Berlin with the job number produced 3542 printed in May 1947 , in a very small edition of only 300 pieces!
The book therefore contains all Issues that , officially at the counters were valid throughout Germany at this time in early May 1947.
Accordingly , the early and no longer manufactured digit values ​​of 1, 3 , 4, 5 and 42 Pfg and the values ​​also no longer produced in the old UPU colors (12 Pfg red, 15 Pfg.- red and 25 Pfg blue) are not included .
Interestingly, the " numeric output" designated by the Control Council authorities herein as "provisional stamp issue " .
Also interesting is the fact probably few are aware of that very few postage stamps were valid in 1947 in all zones ! Using this book you can easily read and compare with the official first and last day of the Michel catalog data.
