Censorship did not cease with the end of hostilities and new censorship regulations were introduced to examine civil mail within Germany, mail for destination abroad, mail from and to POW’s or Ex-POW’s and mail from and to internees. In the 1945 to 1948 period profound political changes occurred which affected postal history…” A useful handbook, in English, including currency reforms, occupation zones, etc. Well illustrated in black & white, and with some colour.
