Stamps of Slovakia Stamps of Slovakia 1/1 Slovakia - stamps within the Brief History collection See 26.06.1940 - 23/96 (Mi.67 50h, Mi.37 20h) See 08.05.1941 - 25/90 (Mi.47 + 20h Slovakotour) The (First) Slovak Republic, otherwise known as the Slovak State (Slovak: Slovenský štát), was a partially-recognised clerical fascist client state of Nazi Germany which existed between 14th March 1939 and 4th April 1945 in Central Europe. The Slovak part of Czechoslovakia declared independence with German support one day before the German occupation of Bohemia and Moravia. It controlled most of the territory of present-day Slovakia, without its current southern parts, which were ceded by Czechoslovakia to Hungary in 1938. The state was the first formally independent Slovak state in history. Bratislava was declared the capital city. The overprinted stamps depicted below (with 'Slovenský Štát 1939') had been printed for use in the autonomous province of Slovakia before it had declared its independence (hence the inscription 'CESKOSLOVENSKO' at the top of the design).

26th May 1933 News in Brief - Battle Unions Screenshot 2024-02-18 at 10.15.49.png Screenshot 2024-02-18 at 10.15.49.png 1/1 ← Previous Next → 'Battle Unions' I receive continued reports that groups of Party comrades and persons associated with the Party, have formed themselves into 'Battle Unions' in order to undertake wild interference in business. The Party membership and all Party bureaus of the N.S.D.A.P., repudiate these happenings with all decisiveness. They realise that the restoration of healthy conditions in German economy and the re-employment of many millions of unemployed men is not advanced but is hindered by these senseless acts of objectionable self-interested policy. I order, therefore, that all 'Battle Unions' which have been formed in the economic field must forthwith be dissolved, regardless of the names by which they are called. I request, in consequence, all Party bureaus to deliver to the courts persons who henceforth set themselves up as commissars, without having been called to the position by the administration or by a public authority.

1st April 1937 Consulate Covers 1st April 1937 Consulate Covers 1/1 Official cover sent from the 'American Consular Service' in Breslau to an address in New York. The reverse bearing the hand-stamp of the American Consulate in Breslau. Ref: 01.04.1937 Consulate covers Note on 'Frei durch Ablösung Reich' (Free by replacement of Reich) : With the law concerning postage exemptions in the territory of the North German Confederation ( Postage Freedom Act ) of 5th June 1869, exemption from postage fees in Germany remained only for 'the reigning princes, their wives and widows'. However, according to Section 11 of the Postage Freedom Act, the Federal Postal Administration retained the right to conclude agreements with state authorities to the effect that the authorities would pay aversionary sums (lump sums) to the Federal Postal Administration instead of the postage and/or fees for individual shipments. By 1920, contracts had been concluded with 34 state authorities. All of these agreements were repealed by the Law on the Abolition of Fee Exemptions in Postal and Telegraph Traffic of 29th March 1920. However, the Reich Postal Administration retained the authority to conclude agreements with state authorities on the flat-rate postal fees provided for in Section 11 of the Postal Freedom Act. On 1st October 1923, such an agreement was concluded with the office of the Reich President. The mail items were marked 'Frei durch Ablösung Reich' (Free by replacement of Reich ) and had an official seal with a national emblem underneath. The lump sum was determined by counting and paid to the post office in monthly instalments. Official stamps, which were already in use in Bavaria and Württemberg, were also introduced as a replacement for such mail items.

The consulate address appears to have been demolished and rebuilt (the consulate is no longer located there), however, the Syrian Consulate is next door at Rauchstrasse 25... perhaps the street was a 'consulate' street, i.e. like Belgrave Square in London.
