1933-1945 Third Reich collection from the Frugal Philatelist's (Gilhousen) estate in fifteen, three ring binders.

Plenty of power in: regular issues, specialized varieties (both in types and plate faults), charity issues including Winter Relief and OSTROPA sheets, airmail with necessary Zeppelin issues, Bohemia Moravia, Slovakia, WWII occupations of the period, General Government, representative zusammendrucke, and illustrative postal stationery and supportive covers. Mainly complete by Scott for the period. Organized as an historical chronicle of the rise of the Third Reich and Hitler's rise to power and madness. Shows how propaganda manipulated the population into the required support of this regime and follows it to the complete collapse of German Nationalism of the early 20th Century. Demands an in person inspection to locate hidden gems, sleepers, and accurate historical surprises. (Image)
