Ross Verlag seemed to disappear by the end of the war. The National Socialists had retained the name after they had forced Heinrich Ross out of his own company. But during the Second World War they also started to use the name Film-Foto-Verlag. The design of the cards and the numbering system did not alter. After the war, the name Film-Foto-Verlag reappeared in the early 1950s for a short while, but it soon changed to UFA/Film-Foto. Here are 20 of our favourite Film-Foto-Verlag postcards.
