Willy Brandt

On Tuesday I bought the new German stamps.

On of them is this:

100 birthday of Willy Brandt (issued 02-11-2013)

Willy Brandt was born in 1913 in Lübeck. He resisted the National Socialist Dictatorship and went into exile to Norway and Sweden in 1933. After the Second World War he assisted the rehabilitation of the democracy in Germany and from 1957 and 1966 he was the Governing Mayor of Berlin. From 1966 he was the Foreign Minister of Germany and from 1969 Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1971 he got the Nobel Peace Price. He died in 1992.

I bought also a First Day Sheet.
