Ref: 17.01.1941 further information regarding the stamps shown can be found here Notes on Erich Haide 'Getting anything printed in Germany these days is a major problem, and bringing anything out with more or less regularity must be a real undertaking. That it is why we feel it proper to mention the activities of ERICH HAIDE a stamp dealer located at 24 (a) BALJE uber STADE, British Zone, Germany. Mr. Haide is bringing out a very useful Bulletin entitled UNIVERSAL POST and has also produced a 50 page pocket size booklet entitled CHECK TO THE FORGERS which gives valuable information on how to detect many of the modern forgeries of Germany and other European countries. As trade with Germany is still largely on a barter basis, Mr. Haide has devised a unique system by which he will trade his literature and perhaps other items for your outdated Catalogues, stamp publications, etc.' From 'The Airpost Journal' , Vol.XX - No.1, October 1948
