    CROWN - Great video John. Stamps Collecting is all about political geography and history, that makes it so engaging. Thanks for the video, I love Berlin too and I'm going to make a video about those DDR monument stamps.

    CROWN. John, your generosity is incredible. There is nothing wrong collecting German WWII stamps with the image of Hitler. Like you said it is a reminder of the horrors of his Regime. I have an extensive Collection including a few WWII Propaganda post cards as well as most from Bohemia. Probably close to 1000 items so far. Still a few blanks to fill. Congrats on reaching 820.

    Thanks John - great video !! Go for it with the monitisation - I am sure you will do well with the amount of subscribers you are getting each month. I agree with you regarding collecting controversial stamps - eg Hitler etc. they are part of history and only remind us of the horrors of war and how evil these people were hoping not to repeat (looks like Putin is repeating however)
    Thanks John very much - Jeff

    Hi John. A CROWN to you for the fantastic growth of your channel - you are at 820 subscribers when I comment here! I really like it when you expand on European history. The stamps are part of this - the history is, as you said, captured in moments on the stamps. History is part of our foundation, and therefore I have no problem with collecting any stamps, including those with the Hitler history on them. It is in the past and to learn from. - Your ardent follower here from New Zealand. PS: A wonderful giveaway again! Thanks for being so generous, even though I will probably not win 🙃 , and thank you for your videos. 🙂

    great video John, worth at least half a CROWN of anyone's money.
    After watching your ealier videos it made me dig out my old collection of Machins and start sorting them in a similar fashion to yourself and as an aside I decided to give more effort to my Wildings but the watermarks left me a little daunted. I hope some time you might do a video discussing the different types of watermark used on those Wildings. Anyway keep up the great work I love your videos. From Tom in Liverpool (not the one in Australia or Canada) but the one where they speak with an accent broader than your own.

    Hi interesting video, yes it's a new era with king Charles lll. One of the things with QE ll, machins is, that in every collection, small or big, there's a lot of them.
    Regarding the GDR stamps, i collect those. Tje 12pf blue service stamp, is that a rift or is it an error?
    Interesting to know.

    Usually a bisect would be half the value. However the postcard rate was raised from 1d to 2d on May 1st 1940. So your December postmark would indicate full value.

    • @Horsa-sr8oz
      @Horsa-sr8oz Рік тому +1

      It seems I was incorrect in the conclusion. They ran out of penny stamps and so bisected the 2d. Since it was under German Occupation, it seems the 1d tariff was maintained. I assume so. Anyway the first day of release of the bisect was given as 27th Dec 1940.

    I think a person should collect what you like. If one does not like the things that some of our historically recent political leaders did - such as Adolf, Joseph, Che, Mao, Maggie, Tricky Dicky, or Ronnie, don't collect them. As another poster commented, learn from the history and don't repeat it. Postage stamps are cultural items, and again, if you like the stamp, add it to your collection. I'm not as impressed by the new Charles III stamps - I don't think they look quite as elegant as the QE II Machins.... maybe because QEII looks more regal due to the CROWN?
