 The European Postal and Telecommunications Union was founded in 1942 in order to approach the difficulties in international communication created by the Second World War, but also to prepare a European Postal Union in an after-war Europe dominated by Germany, which fortunately didn't happen. The European Postal Union changed the existing European Postal Network in the sense that it introduced one commentary for the entirety of its territory because it completely abolished the transit charge and the inner German postal system was just exported to all the other countries that were members.
