Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE)

Two years after NATO was founded in 1949, the members of the Alliance realised that a military command structure was necessary to ensure greater integration of NATO forces and proper lines of command in the event of a crisis or war. As a result, in 1951 the first strategic command, Allied Command Europe (ACE), came into existence under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, US Army, who had the title of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR). His headquarters - Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) was established on 2 April 1951 in the Paris suburb of Rocquencourt in France. Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, KG, GCB, DSO, moved over from the Western Union Defence Organization (WUDO) to become the first Deputy Supreme Commander Allied Powers in Europe, who would serve until he relinquished his appointment, aged nearly 71, on 20 September 1958.

Mail from December 1943 M.V. Kerlogue rescue

Kadett Rudi Schlicht was on of 168 German sailors rescued by the Irish registered 335 ton MV Kerlogue after the Battle of the Bay of Biscay during a 10 hours operation. They were on their way back from Portugal with a cargo of

  • ranges for Ireland. Schlicht was hospitalized in Cork before being transferred

to the Curragh Internment Camp. Square boxed red quadrilingual Military Internee certifying handstamp was applied at the Curragh so we know his letter, dated 7 January 1943, was forwarded there from the military hospital in Cork. The front has a red Irish military censor handstamp partially covered by the pink Irish civil censor label

  • f censor #2 who was the assistant chief censor.

A week after the rescue, the German ambassador to Ireland, Dr. Eduard Hempel, wrote to the Kerlogue's captain, Thomas Donohue, calling the 'exemplary deed worthy of the great tradition of Irish gallantry and humanity’. He also sent a letter of thanks to the matron of the military hospital in Cork where the injured were cared for. See last page.

In 1941 the Kerlogue had rescued 12 British seaman and towed their ship the Wild Rose, that has been attacked by German bombers, to Rosslare Strand which avoided her

  • sinking. In October 1943 the Kerlogue was attacked by British

fighters despite her Irish flag and ÉIRE written large on the hull and deck. Surprisingly the British cargo of coal prevented the damage from allowing the water to sink the ship.

An air mail letter card from Corsica (FPO 660, Bastia) in April

  • 1944. It is datelined from Naval Party 1013. This is not

included in the list of naval parties to be found on the

  • internet. However, by this date, a large number of RN motor

launches, US PT boats and Italian MAS boats were operating a taxi service taking clandestine personnel to Southern France and Northern Italy (behind German lines), and exfiltrating them (well, those who survived) in due course.

An example of philatelic trivia from Australia: RAAF 4105 postmark on the last day of use on 30th November 1945, on a RAAF honour cover.. The vendor claimed this was at Narromine in New South Wales, but this is not confirmed.
