I was wondering if anyone could tell me why Reich porcelein items would have "Germany" on the reverse of an item and not "Deutscland"? In other words, if the maker is from Berlin, why would it be marked Berlin.Germany or Berlin.Deutschland or just plain Berlin and no coutry of origin? Any and all input from porcelein guys would be greatly appreciated. The use of an English word for the back of a German item just doesn't make sense to me. But what do I know!!

Just to clarify this a bit. "Printed in Germany" might appear as part of the typeset info on a book if the original intent was to sell it in the U.K., U.S., or other English-speaking country. You'll also find books that were not originally intended for distribution outside of Germany, but ended up being exported later on. These had a separate ink-stamped citation. Other items (porcelain, knives, etc.) were similarly marked "Germany" if they were intended for export.

Originally posted by ErichThat was probably the intent, but I've got German books up to 1944 that have 'Printed in Germany' as part of the typeset on the copyright page.
