Value of Hitler Stamps

Sunday, 25.05.2008

Who is Hitler? I bet everyone can give a proper description somehow or other! There’re many abusive words given him owing to what he did in the past. However, a few people pay their last respects to him and his encirclement.

Should we decide whether this out of the ordinary personality deserves any kind of honor and recollection or has to be blamed and damned?! The majority of people remember Hitler and his policy in look bleaks. On the other side, times change and we change altogether.

Not long ago I happened upon strange news concerning Neo-Nazis post stamps. It turned out that Deutsche Post issued a collection of Rudolf Hess stamps. By the way, Mr. Hess was a Hitler’s fellow fighter. For the fascist regime he has been an epoch-making figure.

I’m just curious how Neo-Nazis were able to take in Deutsche Post!? Do industrial and office workers of Post go limp? Obviously, not everybody can know the faces of Hitler’s encirclement. It has aroused all manner of speculation on my side (like skinheads and Nazis penetrated the Post and allowed such a thing to be issued!).

Deutsche Post spokesman Dirk Klasen offered: “It was a slip-up. We are very sorry about it. It runs in most cases without difficulty. Only with the Hess image did something go awry. I presume it came from the far-right scene. But those 20 envelopes won’t affect German democracy.” Deutsche Post spokesman Dirk Klasen confirmed that an order of 20 55-cent stamps had been printed by the service.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any patterns of Hess stamps. Have a look at photos of Hitler and Hess next to him.

Let me show you some Hitler stamps at your consideration. Value of Hitler stamps should be estimated respectively.

These stamps are the original Hitler Heads issued by the Germany Government during WWII. As leader of Germany and the Nazi party, Adolf Hitler demanded that his image be placed on postage stamps.

Most of the stamps with Hitler were devoted to differetn considerable events like victories and triumphs. Everything points to the fact that fascist theme matters till now. Thus, value of Hitler stamps is high.

Old postcard photos of synagogues

Thursday, 01.05.2008

Old postcards and stamps can tell too much about one or another building or person. They are just like privacies or medical reports that contain proper data and information on specific features, characteristics, properties, secrets and habits known only a small number of people.

We can’t but go into raptures seeing such weird and wonderful masterpieces here and there. Furthermore, a person with a deep sensory perception is capable of going into ecstasies while seeing antique buildings drawn in old postcards photos of synagogues, castles, churches, mosques, etc.

The most important moment, however, is that you can appreciate old constructions at their true value either you’re a Christian or a Muslim. By the way, it’s no by chance why I did single out loads of synagogues photos. Look at these old postcards photos of synagogues and you’ll make sure!

Old postcard photos of synagogues are found all over the world. In spite of the fact that the Muslims are very young nation, they did too much for cultural development and the flowering of art.

Italian synagogues have the features that mixed Roman, Greek, Assryo-Babylonian, and Egyptian elements.

Have a look at Polish synagogues! They do also possess specific for this culture features. Unfortunately, most of these works of arts have become the legends in the annals of history.

Old postcard photos of Hungarian synagogues show in what way the history of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire had been developed. Each kingdom had its ruling class: the German-speaking people in Austria and the Magyars in Hungary.

Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian synagogues are also the legacies of the former Soviet Union that have to be taken as examples.

I found traces of synagogues even in the USA, where many Christian churches act on a level with different reformed churches, Baptists, Lutherans, etc. Simply visit the National Museum of American Jewish History and find American Synagogue Postcards’ Collection.
