Yesterday returned my two covers about Hans-Dietrich Genscher from the postmarking unit.
Hans-Dietrich Genscher was born on 21st March 1927 in Reideburg, which today belongs to Halle an der Saale. He was a German statesman and a member of the Free Democratic Party. Between 1969 and 1974 he was the Minister of the Interior. Between 1974 and 1992 he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Vice Chancellor. In both post he was the longest-serving occupant. He was considered to have been a masterly diplomat and is said to be the architect of German Reunification. He retired from politics in 1992. Hans-Dietrich Genscher died on 31st March 2016 in Wachtberg near Bonn.
