  • Sehr Geehrte Freunde Der Philatelie! Es War Eine Menge Arbeit, Aber Nun Ist Er Fertig: Der Katalog Zur 71
    Sehr geehrte Freunde der Philatelie! Es war eine Menge Arbeit, aber nun ist er fertig: Der Katalog zur 71. Auktion am 21.Au- gust 2004. Ich habe es nicht gezählt, aber es stecken in diesem Katalog sicherlich weit über tausend Arbeitsstunden. Und ich glaube, die viele Arbeit hat sich gelohnt. Der vorliegende Katalog beschreibt fast genau 10.000 Lose, von denen fast 3500 auch abgebildet wurden. Dabei gibt es mehrere Schwerpunkte: Vielleicht am interessantesten ist die Auflösung einer der schönsten Sammlungen Deut- sche Feldpost im II. Weltkrieg. Dabei sind u.a. Rhodos 8A gest. (Ausruf 1350), 8A (*) (Ausruf 2000); Kreta 7B auf Brief (Ausruf 7500), Hela 13b a. BS, Krim 15I a. BS (800), Kurland-Schnellbrief, mehrere Belege Ostpreussen-Feldpost, Funknach- richtenkarten von Milos, Dünkirchen, St. Nazaire, Kreta, La Rochelle, Festungs- post von Breslau, Frankfurt/Oder, Lorient, St. Nazaire, Royan, zahlreiche Belege aus Stalingrad. Ein Auktionsprogramm, das nicht nur zahlreiche Raritäten enthält, son- dern auch zeitgeschichtlich äußerst wertvoll ist! Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden die Deutschen Kolonien und Auslandspostämter. Wir konnten wieder ein umfangreiches Angebot an Stempeln und Briefen zusammenstel- len, im Markenteil sind neben praktisch sämtlichen Standardwerten u.a. sämtliche amtlich verausgabten China-Handstempel (von 3 bis 80 Pf.) dabei, Karolinen 1/6I kpl., Ma- rianen 2/6I und Marshall-Inseln 1/6IU **, 1Ia und 1Ib a. oder die enorm seltene 7b auf . Kenner wissen, daß diese Marke seltener als eine 1I ist — nur bis zur Michelre- daktion ist dieses Wissen leider bis heute nicht durchgekommen. Gut 110 Seepost- und Marineschiffspostbelege ergänzen dieses Sammelgebiet sehr schön. Altdeutschland bietet diesmal Schwerpunkte bei Bayern, Württemberg und Hannover.

Abstract Managerial attention to the leader’s strategic designs has been identified as a key prerequisite for success in the adoption of new technologies. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how the battlecruiser concept as an organizational gestalt was developed, adopted and assessed in the British Royal Navy (RN) in 1904- 1918 from the perspective of the top leader’s personality and managerial attention.
