The philetalistic textbook on postal traffic in occupied German Southwest Africa 1914-1919 examines the effects of the First World War and the occupation period since 1915 on correspondence in German Southwest Africa. The text is mostly bilingual in German and English. The South African occupying power had maintained postal traffic in the German colonial region of Southwest Africa almost continuously since 1915. They used the existing postal infrastructure, adopted German stamps and also used German forms. The correspondence was subject to censorship. The first part of this work is the listing of the large number of censorship stamps used, each with a picture and frequency, as well as the evaluation of the envelope seals with the usage times that have become known. The civil postal traffic with foreign countries, especially with Germany, is then dealt with in detail. The prisoner-of-war mail relating to German South-West Africa comprises approximately 100 pages from and to the internment camps with the times in which their stamps are used and their evaluation. Prisoner lists and document images provide a comprehensive picture of a collection area in which almost all documents are German-speaking. Postal traffic in occupied German South-West Africa 1914-1919 is a fitting addition to the catalog of the adopted German stamps in South-West Africa from 1915, published by the same authors in 2016.
