Help Trying To Learn Scott Catalog Need Friends Help W/ #'s

Here I am back at it again.I think i'm making some progress with looking stamps up,but still having a hard time figuring out where to look sometimes.Could some one PLEASE give me the scott #'s for these? I'd be forever grateful

OK Tina - I'll see what I can do for you. It's late and I'm half asleep, but if I'm reading the scan right they should be as shown below.

The top row #1 appears to be sc# 146; #2 sc# 199; #3 sc# 109; #4 sc# 208; #5 sc# 207; #6 sc#231

The second row #1 sc# 155; #2 sc# 112; #3 sc# 229

I hope this helps!

your the greatest Laswabbie,can I have michaels underpants to please lolhey you speak German don't you?I have some old covers that i'm curious as to what is on them and some old world war pictures also that id like to know what it says on the back of them ill post one and when you get some shut eye and wake up and log back on here maybe you can translate it for us





it's probably to hard to read but if you can that would be great thanks

I could try to transcribe and translate it, but I would need better quality scans. These are too small...

Jan-Simon

Jan-simon how can I make them larger that pop up that says there has been an error because my jpg pga http or whatever that is is to large how about 1 at a time,but that would take awhile ill scan 1 see if its better



hows this?

Yes, that's better.

"Bremen 8.12.41 (December 8th, 1941)

Dein vornehmer Bruder
führt seine Sterne vor

In meinen neuen Arbeitsbereich
(Wie im Generalstab!)"

Your posh brother
shows his stars

In my new workingarea
(as in the general's headquarters!)

(note: the "Sterne" was a bit difficult to read, but I suppose that is what he meant. He probably got promoted. Interesting drawing of a powerplant or ironsmelting factory :) )

Tina - I don't speak or read German enough to do any good any more. I lived in Germany when I was a kid. I use a German-English philatelic dictionary and Babble or something similar to stumble my way through most text.

ok laswabbie ill ask Jan-simon from now on did a great job on the above it just takes so long to scan and post each thing one by one.Im sure the letters I have would be to small for me to post and be readable cause the writing is already small as it is.THANKS Jan-simon

The texts on the back of the photos do not need to be enlarged that much to be readable, so you could try those. The card bottom right is interesting. It says that mrs. Trollhann has been acquitted from further inquiry by the public prosecutor for political/nazi matters. This was in 1949, almost 4 years after the war.
Philatelically, it is funny to see that this mail from a government agency was not properly franked, so there is a cancel "Nachgebühr" = postage due on it. At least, that is how I interpret the red handcancel.

Tina,

This is useful and easy to use.
