There is a Michel Germany Specialized catalogue in English, but for unknown reasons it does not cover anything after 1948. So no Bundespost, DDR, Berlin, Saarland etc. For this you are still stuck with the German language version.
Thank you jansimon and nigelc.
Appreciate the informative responses.
There's info in English in SG Germany 9th edition 2011. But that's not Michel!
Thank you, Strider.
Will check into this option.
Have you read this : https://stamporama.com/discboard/disc_ma ...
The SOR user JMH67 has placed a link to a PDF file but it is in German. Do you have trouble with that?
You yourself had a post in the above link !

A few possible resources. Perhaps already known to SOR member, but felt worth mentioning.
First is an article entitled "Varieties and types of postage stamps of the German Democratic Republic; the Five-Year Plan (1953/59)".
Link: worldstampproject.org/gdr-five-year-plan-varieties-postage-stamps
Second, a quick reference identification matrix compiled by SOR member Rod from Western Australia. Don't have a link for this, but perhaps Rod would consider reposting.
Third, believe the late Jay Carrigan authored some material on the subject. (Believe his "jaxpex" site is no long active.) So try Googling.
Interesting collecting area. Lots of variety. Have fun.

Is there an English-language version of the Michel catalogue which covers these issues?
Thanks in advance.
