The speakers tell us about the background of the new issues (in German, of course), but the song is in English! Definitely worth watching, and quite a contrast to those old mimeographed announcements I used to receive. Homely as they were, they did have one advantage: up until the WW2 occupation, they were sent in covers nicely franked with the official stamps!
