This set of two stamps, issued in 1934, commemorates the Saar Plebiscite. The designs depict the Saar region under German control and a German eagle rising over a swastika, symbolizing the region's anticipated return to Germany.

The Saar Plebiscite, held in January 1935, was a vote mandated by the Treaty of Versailles to determine the future of the Saar Basin. The overwhelming vote for reunification with Germany was a significant propaganda victory for the Nazi regime.
