Horst Kempe descriptive labels

(Translations may need expert consideration)

'A philatelic rarity! To remedy the shortage of postage stamps in autumn 1945, the OPD. Dresden decreed that in addition to the few remaining Dresden stamps, the issues of other cities and provinces of the Russian occupation zone in Dresden also had franking value. Occupation zone had franking value in Dresden. Mixed frankings of the remaining single values of the Dresden I issue cut or cancelled with single values of the precious issues of Meissen, Glauchau, Löbau, Görlitz or Niesky etc. were therefore not gimmicks, but are valuable covers of the first Saxon city stamps on genuinely used registered covers and interesting contemporary documents for the serious collector.'
