Not enough postage just do this, use someone else's postage stamp.  Found this in a killoware. One USA 10 cent stamp with an extra DDR semi-postal, I guess to make a total of 25.   |

Didn't notice the date. But why put a German-DDR stamp on the envelope? Just found it interesting. |

What does the CDS of that postmark read?
I looked at it for several minutes and couldn't quite make it out. Finally, I realized it was probably North Madison, Ohio 44057, but to look at that CDS, it sure didn't look like ZIP Code 44057 ... it looked more like 94057 (a ZIP Code which doesn't exist)! |

The other item that I could not figure out at first is how raywrio arrived at 25 cents? I see that now; the stamp is a semi-postal. That means the "5" does not count as postage!

One could be generous and see a link between 'helden des antifaschistischen freiheitskampfes' (heroes of the anti-fascist freedom struggle) and 'world peace thru law' ... anybody remember the proper name for this sort of thematic use of one good-for-postage stamp with one ride-along stamp?
Cheers,

ikeyPikey,
So the DDR stamp was used as a thematic theme, and not really for extra postage? |
