International memorial - Germany / German Democratic Republic 1970 - 25 Pfennig

To commemorate the fighters against fascism and imperialist war To commemorate the fighters against fascism and imperialist war, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issued two multicolored special postage stamps. The victims of the imperialist war - the fighters against fascism In the theses of the Central Committee of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany on the 25th anniversary of the liberation of the German people from fascism, the liberation is recognized as an act which "the best sons and daughters of the German people longed for for which they fought and for whom many of them died ". The Communists MAGNUS POSER and THEODOR NEUBAUER belonged to the functionaries of the revolutionary German workers' movement, who fought tirelessly against imperialist war and fascism, filled with deep national sense of responsibility. The furious fascist terror could not stop them from continuing the fight under the most severe conditions of illegality. The political work of Magnus Poser and Theodor Neubauer was aimed at overcoming the fatal splitting of the German working class and the establishment of the unit of action to the overthrow of Hitler fascism. Both were guided by the decisions of the Brussels and Berne Conferences of the Communist Party of Germany and the National Committee "Free Germany". They actively campaigned for the realization of the efforts of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Germany to give central control to the anti-fascist resistance groups active in Germany. Theodor Neubauer and Magnus Poser took part in the anti-fascist resistance struggle, especially in Thuringia. In July 1944, they were again arrested by fascist henchmen and cruelly maltreated. Magnus Poser was murdered in the Buchenwald concentration camp by the SS, Theodor Neubauer, a few months before the overthrow of Hitler fascism in the Brandenburg-Görden penitentiary. The theses on the 25th anniversary also honor the heroic deeds and immeasurable sacrifices of the glorious Soviet Army, the peoples of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, in the liberation of the German people from fascism. Hundreds of thousands of mothers lost their sons, children wept for their father and women mourned for their loved one. These mothers, who at the same time symbolize the great mother of the home of the Soviet Union, are dedicated to a part of the ensemble in the memorial of the Treptower Park in Berlin. Just as the German Democratic Republic honors the memory of the firm Communists Theodor Neubauer and Magnus Poser, it commemorates the Soviet mothers and the citizens of the Soviet Union with a stamp motif.
