Are the german overprints of the Belgian Congo ("Est Africain Allemand Occupation Belge") detailed in the Michel Specialized No.1 catalog?

If they are not, in which particular Michel catalogue they are described in details?

In my 1990 specialised catalogue they are mentioned as being in the Ubersee Katalog. In my 2009 regular Deutschland there is no reference to them after Ostafrika.

They are listed in my 2007 Sud-und Zentralafrika catalogue under Belgisch-Kongo - Belgische Besetzung von Deutsch - Ostafrika

Best regards!

Something looks irregular with this overprint... is that a wasted printer board or a double overprint?

"Est Africain Allemand Occupation Belge" means Belgian Occupation of German East Africa.

These are Belgian overprints in French and Flemish on stamps of Belgian Congo.

Thanks Nigel, now I can see that that is in not a German overprint... :)
