Thank you very much for your help !
find this on cover, properly used, and you have a wonderous thing
this was issued to soldiers and their families during WWII to allow for airmail. Remember, almost all German transports were smallish twin-engined craft, like Ju-52 and Ju-88, with limited space and millions of soldiers to service. This was intended to give soldiers a space on a transport for their letters or packages.
"find this on cover, properly used, and you have a wonderous thing"
These stamps also have three types of gum.
The rouletted has 2 types of gum, smooth and horizontal waves.
The normal perforated has 3 types, as above and vertical waves.
