Eastern Govt Postal Service Insignia

[Gary B]

Hi,

I thought I would post this set of insignia which are rather rare. Here is an almost complete grouping of Eastern Government Postal Service Insignia.

I have never even heard of this organization. Nice find, Gary. Where did you find these referenced?

Nice find! Here is the cuff title that goes with the uniform of "Deutsche Post Osten". (below link)Its mounted on the right sleeve of an Eastern territories postal overcoat (has the same sleeve patch), which I own. The coat is manufactured in Cracow, the Postal headquarters of the General Gouvernement (occupied Poland). This organization and its insignia is covered in David Littlejohn's "Foreign Legions of the 3rd Reich" book Volume 4, which deals with Eastern European volunteers.
See post 149 and 150 in below thread! (last 2 pictures of this page). Nick
