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.

Postcard imprint 'Adler (12. 31)'. Ref: 01.09.1936 - 25/18 Berlin - Rohrpost (also see The London Philatelist vol.102 Oct.1993 #1209 & Nov.1993 #1210 ) The Rohrpost in Berlin, was a pneumatic tube postal service, which existed from 18th November 1865 until 1963 in West Berlin and in East Berlin until 1976. In 1940, the Berlin pneumatic post network reached its greatest expansion with a maximum route length of almost 400 km. 79 post and telegraph offices were connected and at that time processed about 8 million shipments annually. Registered cover sent from Berlin (via Rohrpost - pneumatic mail - at 19:20 from SO 36 - see map below) to an address in Plauen. Featuring various stamps, including Mi.902 & Mi.903 (German Association for goldsmith art issue). The complete value of the postage is 52 Pf. This can be broken down to 12 Pf for the letter being sent inland at the 'distant' rate, 30 Pf for the letter being registered (signed for) and 10 Pf for it being posted via pneumatic mail within Berlin. Ref: 19.09.1944 The operation of the Berliner Rohrpost as a publicly accessible system of message transmission was finally discontinued in 1976. In East Berlin, telegrams were still delivered to the delivery offices by pneumatic post until 1986 An analysis of the route plan of the Berliner Rohrpost shows that the development of the network first served economic interests. It was the connection between the main telegraph office and the stock exchange, which was followed by the expansion of the pneumatic delivery network into the newspaper district and the banking district of Berlin. Later even the sparsely populated upper and lower middle-class residential districts as well as the villa areas of the West were connected (Charlottenburg, Grunewald, Lichterfelde, Schöneberg, Wilmersdorf, Zehlendorf), while the pronounced working-class districts (Kreuzberg, Lichtenberg, Neukölln, Wedding) and the formerly clearly rural urban districts on the periphery received little or no coverage by pneumatic postal network. The pneumatic mail system, Berlin 1945 (Source: Wikipedia) Parts of the pneumatic postal network were destroyed or damaged during the Second World War due to allied air raids on Berlin. However, the operation of some pneumatic post lines in the centre of Berlin is documented until the end of March 1945. The pneumatic post in Berlin remained in operation 'de jure' until the surrender of the German Wehrmacht on 8th May 1945. The express delivery service of the post office, on the other hand, was discontinued on 14th August 1944, due to a shortage of personnel and an extremely increased volume of mail.

'Barlog' Cartoons of Ferdinand Barlog 'Barlog' Cartoons of Ferdinand Barlog 1/1 Lesser seen 'Barlog' cartoon postcard in colour. The image depicting a queue of soldiers awaiting to be served at a field kitchen. Note that the card is without an imprint showing publishers details etc. Ref:02.06.1939 Ferdinand Barlog was a German caricaturist, illustrator, and one of the early comic artists. He studied art in Berlin. He was a prisoner of War in Russia during World War I. Back in civil life after the War, he began a collaboration with the publishing house Ullstein. He also worked for the magazines Uhu and Der Heiterere Fridolin. In Der Heitere Fridolin, Barlog illustrated 'Laatsch und Bommel' and 'Professor Pechmann', series that were also drawn by Paul Simmel. Die Berliner Illustrierte published Barlog's comic 'Die Fünf Schreckensteiner' from 1939 to 1940, in which Barlog tells the adventures of five ghosts haunting an old castle. A popular book collection followed in 1940. After World War II, Barlog didn't succeed to maintain his pre-war popularity. He published the pantomime comic 'Pascha Bumsti' in Illustrierte Quick (1950), before emigrating to the USA in 1953. He passed away two years later.
