Download or read book European Stamp Issues of the Second World War written by Dr David Parker and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, European nations still use stamps to commemorate aspects of a nation's culture, history and achievements. During the Second World War, however, stamps were considered far more important in conveying political and ideological messages about their country's change in fortunes – whether it was as triumphant occupier, willing or unwilling ally, or oppressed victim. Some issues and overprints contained obvious messages, but many others were skillfully designed and subtle in their intentions. Stamps and their accompanying postmarks offer an absorbing and surprisingly detailed insight into the hopes and fears of nations at this tumultuous time. This remarkable collection examines and interprets the stamps of twenty-two countries across western and eastern Europe. The glorification of the Führer and Germany on the stamps of countries he most oppressed was inevitable, but many issues are ambiguous and indicative of the rival ethnic and political forces striving to attain influence and power. Desperate to unite the people, Soviet Russia resorted to images of the nation's heroic achievements under the Tsars; the mutually hostile puppet states Hitler and Mussolini allowed to emerge out of conquered Yugoslavia lost no time in issuing stamps proclaiming their cultural diversity; and Vichy France sought to justify its existence with issues linking past glories under Louis XIV and Napoleon with an equally glorious future alongside Hitler. These and many more stories reveal the aspirations, assumptions and anxieties of so many nations as their destinies hung in the balance.

Download or read book The Unlikely Detective And The Stolen Stamps Enigma written by H. A. Bryant and published by Harry Bryant Books. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Number 4 in the Matt Kelly series starts slowly—unless philately is your thing—but quickly picks up the pace, leading to a vintage Kelly climax that evokes the classic movie "Cape Fear." Kelly is reluctant to get involved in an aging stamp dealer's problems—inexplicably, a client's stamp collection worth millions of yen has been switched with one containing far less valuable material—but the dealer is an old friend of Kelly's friend and sometimes colleague Miller, and, in the end, Miller usually gets what he wants. It doesn't hurt that one of the stamp dealer's assistants is a five foot buxom doll called Masako and is nearly as fit as the legendarily flat-bellied Kelly. As Miller cogitates over how a bank locked-room switch could have been engineered, Kelly noses around the client, a supposed financial investment advisor, who turns out to be a money launderer for the Sumiyoshi-kai yakuza. Series fans will immediately see that the investment advisor/yakuza does more than the laundry—the advisor's own clients clearly indicate that Kelly has found his adversary. No one is quite what they seem this time around—Masako and the investment advisor/yakuza, especially—and it takes Kelly quite a while to put the pieces together. Cut to a rented cabin cruiser, heading to Oshima Island, as Kelly lays in wait for a predawn visit from the investment advisor/yakuza on his way, just like in the classic movie "Cape Fear," to settle scores once and for all.
