particularities
The third year of the GDR Post's stamps is clearly dominated by issues on political occasions. In addition to the GDR's first five-year plan, its alliance policy with other socialist states (Poland, China and the USSR) and the third World Festival held in East Berlin were discussed. In keeping with tradition, the series for the Leipzig trade fair that had already begun in the Soviet occupation zone - this time for the spring trade fair - was continued with two values, and the GDR winter sports championships, now held for the second time, also found their way back into the brand image with two values.
