Thanks to Peter Hughes, Carola Jüllig (Berlin German Historical Museum), Ian Sayer, Titia Harmanni, Alain Carbuccia, Marlene Pilaete, Bob Summerell, Rachel Tanner, Rebecca Isacsson, Richard Minns and Dave Stone for assistance with the information and/or scans for the Ross Verlag History Pages.   Much appreciation to Sarah Hyams from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for her kind assistance.   Special thanks to Stefan Riebe for his invaluable help in this research early on, as well as for several scans.   Grateful appreciation and a huge thanks to Hans Schnepper, Klaus Wunderlich and Klaas Dierks for their continued interest, research and support A very extra special thank you to Werner Mohr from Berlin, who has provided me with much additional help for this website, particularly on the numbering scheme of Film Sterne and Ross, and for revealing that "Ross" was an actual person, as well as much more.   And Mr. Mohr did this by handwritten letter because he did not have a computer or internet access!   I am forever indebted.   And a big thank you also to Patrick Kuster who was kind enough to print out some pages and send them to Mr. Mohr and for contacting me about this and sending along my address.   It was very much appreciated.   And thanks again to Werner for finally getting a computer and providing me much more information and scans! And lets not forget the amazing Jean Ritsema, who has helped me out tremendously in these last few years, creating that unbelievable Ross Verlag image archive, as well as ones for the other European postcard publishers.   And being kind enough to help me out in adding to and creating various lists of card numbers I am sent.   I could never thank her enough. Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed me with information, numbers and scans.   It's always great to hear from other collectors.   I also appreciate all the kind words about this site.

A huge thank you to Olaf Schneider in Germany who along with J. Steinheisser published a booklet with the majority of the Ross yellow card numbers (#5861/1 through #A 4096/1) and for allowing me to use the booklet to fill in the missing numbers in my online list.   Anyone interested in buying a copy of Mr. Schneider's booklet can try to contact him directly at   o-sch@t-online.de   The booklet is approximately 8 X 5 1/2 inches, 150 pages, is easily readable (see page example), and contains additional information (which cards have facsimile signatures, duplicate card numbers, glossy cards, non numbered, larger sized, more thorough dating and other such information).   He also explains how the list was compiled and gives some history on Ross Verlag (this section is written in German).   It does not contain any pictures of the cards themselves.   A recommended purchase for those interested. Another great big thanks to Peter Orban who did a list of early card numbers in 1998 which filled in many of the holes in my list.   Special thanks to Armando Giuffrida who sent this list my way. This list has contributors from USA, Germany, The Nederlands, England, France, Uruguay, Romania, Serbia, Italy, Turkey, Estonia, Poland, Canada, the Czech Republic and Belarus.
