This set of two stamps, issued in 1934, commemorates the upcoming Saar Plebiscite. The designs depict the Saar region within German borders and the German Eagle rising over a swastika, symbolizing its anticipated return to German control.

The Saar Plebiscite of 1935 was a vote mandated by the Treaty of Versailles to determine the future of the Saar Basin, which had been under League of Nations administration. The overwhelming vote for reunification with Germany was a significant propaganda victory for the Nazi regime.
