1st February 1941 Carlo Buerose 01.02.1941 S211 H-pane 98 reverse.jpeg 01.02.1941 S211 H-pane 98 reverse.jpeg 1/1 Cover sent from Carlo Buerose in his role as director for the Southwest Region, Reichsbund der Philatelisten e.V. Ref: 01.02.1941 - 15/12 Carlo Buerose From Consilium Philatelicum Carlo Buerose, born on 28th April 1903, in Frankfurt a.M. He attended the Wöhler-Gymnasium there, then the higher commercial school and completed an apprenticeship at the Frankfurt company Türk & Pope. From 1927 he was the owner of a general agency for Frankfurter Allianz Insurance (which was continued by his son after he retired from active professional life). He started collecting stamps as a teenager. In 1920 he joined the 'Globus' association in Frankfurt, and in 1931 he joined the Association for Stamp Studies of 1878 e.V. Frankfurt, in which he held numerous positions. He was secretary from 1934, also a librarian and deputy chairman from 1953, for which the association later thanked him with honorary membership. Buerose had also played a role at association level before the Second World War. He was director of the Southwest Regional Association and from 1935 held the same position at the newly founded Hesse Regional Association in the Reichsbund der Philatelisten. Buerose continued this position after the Second World War and also took on new philatelic tasks in the German federal government. From 1957 to 1970 he was its vice president, at times treasurer and chairman of the administrative committee. From 1966 to 1973 he was director of the Foundation for the Promotion of Philately and Postal History. He not only worked as a juror at numerous exhibitions, but also as an organiser. Buerose's own collecting interests focused on post-used stamps from Baden, Hanover, Mecklenburg, Saxony and Thurn & Taxis issues of the German Empire, as well as stamps of the Saarland. Günther Welter wrote about Buerose's farewell from the board of the BDPh in the then 'Bundesnachrichten' in 1970: 'This pioneer from the very beginning worked in and for the federal government for 25 years; he headed, no, he embodied the federal office. …Carlo Buerose is sovereign and sovereign, a patriarch of the old school, he reacted, acted, made decisions patriarchally, always intuitively and spontaneously, always unconventionally and without concern for effects.' Philately knew how to thank him. In 1941 he received the silver pin of the Reichsbund, in 1952 he was awarded the Baurat Luce Medal from his Frankfurt association, and in 1954 the gold pin of merit from the BDPh. Ten years later, Alois W. Bögershausen, the chairman of the Philatelists Association in North Rhine-Westphalia, thanked his board colleague - like Buerose was also Vice President of the BDPh at that time - with his association's Medal of Honor for special services to association philately and - last but not least - the Hans Wagner Medal followed four years later, in 1968. The term 'pioneer of the first hour' was a perfect fit for Buerose, who died on 29th April 1993 at the age of 90, meaning he was only a member of the Consilium for seven years.

29th November 1941 Bremerhaven 29.11.1941 Bremerhaven reverse.jpeg 29.11.1941 Bremerhaven reverse.jpeg 1/1 Picture postcard sent via feldpost depicting part of the harbour at Bremerhaven. The lighthouse seen to the center right still exists in this position, the Tiergarten and Aquarium now form the 'Zoo am Meer' attraction. The building to the central left, the 'Strandhalle' also survives intact. the postcard is written by a soldier attached to the Ersatz Marine Artillerie Abteilung (E.M.A.A. - Naval coastal artillery replacement battalion) in Zeven. Ref 29.11.1941 Bremerhaven (Überroller-post - Allied occupation 08.05.1945) Bremerhaven is a city on the east bank of the Weser estuary in northern Germany. It forms an exclave of the city-state of Bremen. The River Geeste flows through the city before emptying into the Weser. Bremerhaven was founded in 1827 as a seaport for Bremen, and it remains one of the busiest ports in the country. It was historically rivalled by Geestemünde on the opposite side of the Geeste, which belonged to Hanover (and later Prussia). Geestemünde united with neighbouring Lehe to form the city of Wesermünde in 1924, and Bremerhaven was itself annexed to Wesermünde in 1939, but the entire conurbation was restored to Bremen in 1947. As possibly the most critical North Sea base of the Kriegsmarine , 79% of the city was destroyed in the Allied air bombing of Bremen in World War II; however, key parts of the port were deliberately spared by the Allied forces to provide a usable harbour for supplying the Allies after the war. All of Wesermünde, including those parts which did not previously belong to Bremerhaven, was a postwar enclave run by the United States, separate to but within the British zone of northern Germany. Most of the US military units and their personnel were assigned to the city's Carl Schurz Kaserne. One of the longest based US units at the Kaserne was a US military radio and TV station, an 'Amerikanischer Soldatensender', AFN Bremerhaven, which broadcast for 48 years. In 1993, the Kaserne was vacated by the US military and returned to the German government. Source: Wikipedia Contact Brief History to inform us of additional information regarding this page
