    Sounds like a nice idea...

    ...for people who want to use this service in good faith. I suppose there's always a risk in a free country that people will abuse their freedoms, but it's a small price to pay.

    I hope the irony isn't lost on the neo-nazis.

    ...I wonder if they would accept a photo of "Bomber Harris"

    or the St Pauls in the Blitz photo?

    "But those 20 envelopes won't affect German democracy."

    But how can we be sure? Perhaps Germany will become a Nazi dictatorship again due to the existence of twenty - a whole twenty, god help us! - Rudolph Hess stamps.

    Schwarz to be more accurate still? Nice try though. However, as someone noted earlier, surely Pfennig Weiß would be more suitable. Perhaps even Pfennig Kaukasisch...?
