Jackson Alan. For God, Kaiser & Fatherland 1914-1918. First World War 'cinderella' stamps of the Central powers alliance: the German, Austro-Hungarian & Ottoman Empires and their allies

Akaroa: Oxford Cinderellas, 1993. — 408 p. — ISBN: 0473022516.An illustrated and expanded English translation of "Die Kriegsmarken der Zentralmachte" by Ferencz Kolbig (Klagenfurt, Austria, 1926)."Die Kriegsmarken der Zentralmachte" was compiled and published by a scholar representing the 'opposite camp', so to speak. It not only marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the First World War, but it celebrates the fact that former enemies have long since become friends.For most people in the world today, ephemera associated with the First World War may no longer be worth thinking about. Ah, but those of us, we happy few, who have focused our attention on the vignettes that were printed long ago during The Great War, those of us who have an appreciation of the history that these little pieces of colorfully designed paper represent.
