Letters returned
East Germany and Poland have refused to deliver letters sent from West Germany with a controversial postage stamp honouring exiles driven out of Eastern Europe after World War IL Letters and panels with the stamp had been returned to the West in bundles by postal authorities in both countries. Most appeared to have been posted by stamp collectors. The stamp bears a symbol in the national colours of black, red and gold and an inscription paying tribute to the integration into West German society of exiles from German territories ceded to Poland and the Soviet Union. — Bonn.
