What a beautiful German collection - thanks for sharing! I love the Germania series - lots of varieties to collect and I enjoy collecting town cancels since the German Empire changed borders so much after 1913; it is fun to find a town that is no longer in Germany such as Sonderburg, which returned to Denmark after the plebiscites in the 1920s. For long-running series I also like seeing them together in the stock book rather than by strict catalog listing.
Hi John. The Germania series are really nice, and 'complex', at least to me. It is interesting that there are places that were German before. I didn't know about Sonderburg though. Yep, putting long running series together and then sort them by denomination and adding labels next to them is something I really love doing. I often derail from the order the catalogue has, it is a very handy tool, but not something I follow 100%. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Chris, Great bunch of stamps. I especially love the one of Edith Stein and the one with the white rose behind barbed wire. I will have to search these out to add to my collection of WWII Concentration Camp related collection. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year.
Hi Daniel. Was it the DDR or BRD that had this long running commemorative series about WWII concentration camps? Really interesting (and sad ofcourse). Are you familiar with these: - Netherlands Dutch Legion Stamp 1942 Sc#B144 and Sc#B145 - Netherlands Liberation Stamp 1945 Sc#277 - Netherlands 35th Anniversary of Liberty 1980 Sc#597 and Sc#598 - Germany Anne Frank 50th Anniversary 1979 Sc#1293 - Czechoslowakia 25th Anniversary of Destruction of Ludice 1967 Sc#1481 - Czechoslowakia 5th Anniversary of Destruction of Ludice 1947 Sc#329
Chris, I only started on this collection last week. I am not familiar with the German series or the ones from the Netherlands. I have the Czech stamps and some Polish commemoratives of people who died in the camps. Over the next few days I will go through my Scott Catalogues to prepare a comprehensive list and also go through all the world wide stamps I do have. Yes it is a very sad period of our history. In the spring of 2025 I will be teaching 2 classes on the Rwandan Genocide at Simon Frazer University. I do not recall if I had told you but from 199 to 2001 I was a War Crimes Investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigating individual living in Canada who had allegedly participated in the Genocide and spent 9weeks in Rwanda Interviewing people.
Great episode Chris. I am really enjoying your fresh approach. I have a lot of German stamps simply through accumulation but have never done anything with them. I may at some point but I have a lot of projects already on the go😉. All the best in the new year!
Hi Jeff. I really like where I am now too. Needed some time to find my way, but here I am :-) I think it is very natural to get quite some German stamps. They are plentiful. More ideas/projects than time, isn't it? I wish you a wonderful 2025 also! Looking forward to your videos!

Goeie dag, Chris. I think and excellent start and contribution to your German collection. Many stamps, and some of them even complete sets or series it seems. I know almost nothing about German philately, but it is always nice to see German stamps. There were a very few fauna stamps which were my favourite. I like your new series and the way you put it together.🙂
Goedenmiddag Charnie. Must be evening now in New Zealand I think. Thank you for the compliment. I really enjoy being back. It is a fresh start but all so familiar too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
old stock books means old stamps maybe so a very good tactic to target the age of stamps you want. i bought some old sheets before christmas and was delighted with stamps i hadnt seen before. ps. i like old germania stuff too and austro hungaria. happy new year.
Hi Peter. Germania stamps are really nice to collect. I am not too familiar with the Austrian Hungarian era to be honest. Happy New Year to you too, and thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi Chris I really interesting !!! I love your German stamps ! As I said I am getting more gmGerman stamps myself which I will show soon :) - but yes - I really enjoyed your video !!! - Jeff
Goed je video˜s weer te zien Chris. Er zitten hele mooie zegels tussen. Duitse zegels hebben veel aandacht voor het ontwerp en zijn heel variërend. Toch vind ik die oude zegels van het oude rijk ook heel interessant. Natuurlijk ook door de geschiedenis die wij goed kennen, maar zeker ook door de soort zegels.
Hoi Camiel. Die oude zegels zijn ook heel interessant. Ook goed grafische ontwerpen, ondanks dat het doel van die oude zegels niet altijd even goed was. Maar daar kunnen de zegels niks aan doen. Ik vind de moderne zegels erg 'hit and miss'. Desondanks toch een boeiend verzamelgebied. Hoe gaat het met jou overigens, nog plannen voor een video? Nog de beste wensen overigens!
@chrislovesstamps ja voor jou ook de allerbeste wensen. Toevallig heb ik gisteren weer de stoute schoenen aangetrokken en opnames gemaakt voor een video. Moet alleen een stuk opnieuw doen. Dus work in progress. Die oude zegels zien er grafisch inderdaad heel gaaf uit. Straalt een bepaalde waarde uit. Met de tijdgeest van nu onwaardig, maar ik denk dat die zegels exact uitstralen wat het Duitse rijk wilde: verhevenheid, krachtig, groots, oneindig.
Great video, do you consider the Saarland stamps issued following WWII as part of a Germany collection? Or should they be considered seperatly? Thanks😊
Hi Pete. Germany is a big collecting area. Nowadays I think about current Germany and its stamps but I think in a philatelic sense I think Germany is a term for everything related to it, including Saarland. Collecting German stamps can be a lot in that sense. What do you think?
@@chrislovesstampsI agree with you 100%. The reason I asked is that you showed a few stamps that also have Saarland versions. Since I don't have a Germany catalogue, I'm not sure how others tackle the divisions. Thanks for your amazing video and always appreciate your reply:)
Great video Chris of German stamps. Do you ever read any books about stamps? I am rereading a great book called Dead Countries of the 19th and 20th Centuries. It has a whole chapter on Germany and explains many countries that no longer exist. I haven't bought many stock books myself and don't like the dealer ones that have many of the same stamp. Keep up the videos and I'll be waiting for the next one.
@@KevinYeryar I know that book Dead Countries of the 19th and 20th century. I have a similar book in German. I do like catalogues and I have some printed papers about the Great Britain machins and precancels of the USA. Buying stock books with stamps already in them can be hit and miss. I have been lucky, but have to say these 2 German stock books have not been the best. Not the stamps and not the books. Buying specific stamps can be really rewarding and affective and does not leave you with a big accumilation. The advantage of a stockbook is that it is nice to go through and discover and often makes for a nice video. More videos will definitely come in the new year. Thanks for commenting and watching!
@@peteowe Hi Pete. Have you tried online (free) catalogues like Colnect and Stampworld? Can be handy. I would definitely handle Saarland as a separate country, same as Baden-Wurtemberg and all the Allied zones.
Hi, thank you for watching and commenting! It helps the channel a lot! Tell me what you think about German stamps, do you like this new series?
Another very nice video. Thank you.
Hi Jeffrey. You're welcome. And thank you too!
Hi Chris, thanks for this episode. I do not know much about German philately and I am really enjoying this look at these stamps.
Hi Kevin. I don't think I know that much either. It is a fascinating topic though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi Chris , hope you had a nice Christmas. What a great group to work with. I think this was a wonderful bargain. Best, Bill 😊

Good evening, this is an excellent purchase. The album is of good quality and the stamps are well-made. It's a great start for your collection.
Hi Serge. Yep, pretty good start. Thanks for watching and commenting. And a Happy New Year to you!
Some nice German stamps there, Chris. I must get some more stock books for mine. Nice collection.
Hi Jerry. Thank you! Yep, storage seems to be a recurring theme for me also ;-)
