Featuring a special cancellation (JB:Frankfurt (Main)87/285). Ref:29.05.1938 - 28/2 Nazi views on public health developed within the context of German cultural traditions and medical science in the early 20th century. Many of the regime's public health priorities—such as eugenics, group exercise, and warnings against alcohol and tobacco—were first popularised during the years of the Weimar Republic. For example, in the 1930 film, 'Born out of Necessity', young Germans are urged to fight the negative health effects of life in modern cities by exercising together and engaging in wholesome social activities instead of drinking and smoking. These themes were later reflected in public health policies after the Nazi rise to power in 1933. Nazi public health officials adopted many of these traditions and ideas, but the Nazi regime’s public health policies were concerned solely with promoting the health of so-called 'Aryan' Germans. According to Nazi ideology, every member of the so-called ' Volksgemeinschaft ' (German racial community) was like a single cell in the larger national body. Each individual had a duty to stay healthy and strong so that the German nation could conquer other peoples and colonise their lands. These theories about individual health and national strength were influential throughout Europe and the United States in the early 20th century. However, Nazi Germany's policies were much more extreme than those of any other nation.

Czechoslovak Stamps in London 1943 Czechoslovak Stamps in London 1943 1/1 Souvenir sheet of stamps from the Exhibition of Czechoslovak Stamps in London, 1943. Ref: Prophila3 In November 1943, the Czechoslovak government in exile in London sponsored an exhibition of Czechoslovak postage stamps to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the independence of Czechoslovakia. The exhibition was held in Grosvenor Place and was attended by many of the government officials. This commemorative sheet was issued specifically for the exhibition. The image of the three men in the top stamp shows Edvard Beneš, Tomáš Masaryk, and General Milan Stefánik. They all campaigned for independence for Czechoslovakia whilst in exile during the first world war. Masaryk became the republic's first president. This exhibition gave a boost to the Czechoslovak Philatelic Society that had been founded by J. Tauber, a London stamp dealer, in 1942. However, the society was closely linked to the Free Czechoslovak Forces and, as a result, the society dissolved after most Czechoslovak soldiers left for France in the late summer of 1944.
