| Lot #323 EGYPT 1926 The Kingdom of Egypt was created in 1922, with King Fuad I installed as its first ruler. A passionate philatelist, he was instrumental in creating various commemorative issues, many featuring portraits of himself. In 1926, to celebrate his 58th birthday, a special high value stamp of the King as a naval commander was released, followed by a set of three International Navigational Congress pictorials. Before the year was out, Fuad announced that 1,500 copies of his birthday stamp (printed in sheets of 25) plus a limited number of the ship stamps (printed in gutter panes of 50), would be overprinted "Port Fouad" in conjunction with the inauguration of a new town being built to relieve congestion in Port Said. As rumors spread quickly that these new overprinted stamps would be a "profitable investment", officials in charge bought up most of the available stocks for themselves. In the post offices there was intense disappointment and riots broke out. The New York Times reported that five people died in their quest for the stamps. While The "Port Fouad" overprints are now catalogued at between ten and a hundred times the price of the original issues, the catalogue value fails to recount the human cost ("Stamp Magazine", "Egypt: Stamps to die for?", by John Winchester, Mar 14, 2012). We are pleased to present the "Inauguration of Port Fouad", Ship of the Hatshepsut 5m, 10m and 15m values, bottom sheet margin panes of 25, n.h., also 50p violet & red violet, vertical "Port Fouad" overprint, complete sheet of 25, positions 16-20 (second row from the bottom) are perforated 14x14x15 instead of 14x15, minor perf.

| Lot #485 GERMAN WORLD WAR II OCCUPATION ISSUES German Occupation of Zante 1943 The German Armed Forces in the Balkans and Greece faced serious resource issues in August and September 1943 if Italy decided to surrender to the Allies. On September 24, 1943 Field Marshall Freiherr von Weichs stated very strongly that the shortage of resources of all types and the scope of the task to defend the Balkans and surrounding islands must be considerably reduced. He regarded Greece and the greater part of the Greek sea area to be used only as an outpost. The Commander in Chief of the German Naval Forces supported this position indicating the eastern most islands in the Mediterranean were valueless. Dismissing any thoughts regarding a lack of resources, Hitler as Commander-in-Chief, opposed such strategic thinking. On October 1, 1943 the directive for the future defense in Italy, the Balkans which included Greece, the Ionian Islands such as Corfu, Cephalonia, and Zante along with the easternmost Aegean Islands of Scarpanto, Milos, Cos, Leros, Samos, Chios, Mytilene, and Lemnos was issued. There was to be no retreat from the current occupied areas. This directive set the stage for the eventual occupation of Zante when Italy surrendered to the Allies. On October 2, 1943 the German armed forces led by Captain Leuth quickly pacified the island in contrast to the serious resistance to the German takeover that occurred on other Ionian Islands. On October 20, 1943 a directive was issued and signed by Captain Leuth, Island Commander, Athanassius Markettos, Prefect Commissioner, and Lukas Carros, the Island mayor, that stated: "Considering that since the overthrow of the Italian authorities on Zante, no Greek postage stamps have been received for the use of postal services of the island and that those issued by the Italian occupation of the Ionian Islands are still in use and with the verbal authorization of the Commanding German Forces for the overprinting by a special commemorative marking of the said postage stamps of the Italian occupation. We decide that all postage stamps now in the hands of the Post Office of Zante and the public Treasury of Zante with the overprint Isole Jonie be overprinted with a special stamp having in a frame the "Ellas" and underneath the date 2.X.43, the day when the Greek national flag unfolded again on the Prefecture building of Zante". Thus the Zante issue of October 21, 1943 came into existence). Collection on 21 pages, well written-up, with 213 unused stamps, one 30c unused stationery card and five covers (including one card). There are singles and blocks of four of the unissued 10c brown, blocks of four and eighteen of red and black overprints of the three issued stamps, numerous varieties, including vertical overprint reading up, inverted overprint, single overprint struck on a horizontal pair, strips of three with diagonal overprint, vertical overprint reading down, missing and partial overprints in blocks with fully overprinted stamps, bottom sheet margin strips of ten signed by the Prefecture Commissioner "Arg.Votsis", 50c horizontal gutter pair, inverted overprints, missing "I" of "Isole" (single and position 7 in block of 16), etc. Stamps appear to be n.h., mostly signed Drossos, GPSY, Diena, with two Brunel certificates.

| Lot #702 JAPAN Prisoner of War Camps 1915-18 After Germany and its allies were defeated in Tsingtao, more than 4,600 POWs were interned in temporary camps in cities throughout Japan. When it became clear that the war would last longer than originally expected, Japanese military authorities constructed permanent POW camps in Kurume, Narashino, Aonogahara, Osaka, Ninoshima and Nagoya. In 1917, a POW camp Ninoshima (off Hiroshima) was established in order to absorb prisoners from Camp Osaka, and the POW camp Bando was created in order to integrate the camps of Marugame, Matsuyama and Tokushima. The POW camps of Shizuoka and Oita remained untouched until the last year of war, when prisoners there were deported to Narashino. Camp Kurume was the largest in Japan, with 1,308 German prisoners, of which 59 were officers, and 47 Austro-Hungarians. Camp Ninoshima, with 536 Germans and 9 Austro-Hungarians, was isolated from the Japanese inhabitants because the island was situated off of Hiroshima and surrounded by high walls lest anyone see the naval port nearby. Camp Aonogahara, near Kobe, held 255 German and 230 Austro-Hungarian prisoners, constituting some 80 percent of Austro-Hungarians interned in Japan. Camp Bando, with 918 soldiers and 20 officers, was the second largest POW camp in Japan. Camp Bando prisoners issued a newspaper "Baracke". Camp Nagoya, housing 494 German soldiers and 12 officers, was situated in a city center. Camp Narashino was located close to Tokyo, with 546 Germans and 2 Austro-Hungarians interned there.
