MICHEL 708
KAMERADSCHAFTSBLOCK
der DEUTSCHEN REICHSPOST
This series of stamps were introduced to acknowledge the important role played by the German Postal Service employees. The surtax on these stamps was for the postal workers fund. As can be seen from several of these stamps the colours and shades can vary quite significantly. There was no special postmark accompanying this issue. These stamps were designed by Axster-Heudtlass and were produced on unwatermarked, coated paper (5x10) and were Perf K 13½ x 14¼.
