1944, Warsaw Uprising



1944 UPRISING of national Polish Home Army (ARMIA KRAJOWA) against the German occupation, the so-called WARSAW UPRISING (Aug 01 - Oct 02, 1944), analyzed and illustrated in academical manner using Polish letters, documents, provisional and definitive insurgent postage stamps on more than 80 albums leaves. This collection (consisting of 3 albums) impresses e.g. with the presentation of the ORIGINAL DRAFTS (water colours) of the first POLISH OWN POSTAGE STAMPS 1944, authenticated by the "Sklanica melunkowa Mokotowska 65" (Polish intelligence office Mokotowska Street) or "Komenda placu pld Warszawa srodmiescie" (HQ inner-city South) (naturally unique, all with certificates by Petriuk BPP). The scope of INSURGENT STAMPS in various colours and prints with the well known "1. VIII 1944" designs (illustrating soldiers and ruins) is virtually breath-taking and gives together with the enormous number of SCOUT MAIL COVERS written in and/or delivered to the trenches of the uprising a MUSEUM CHARACTER of the utmost importance for the Polish national identity and history of the Polish State in World War II.
