Flood Victims Relief (Berlin)

Germany · 1956 · 10+5 Pf

The stamp features a stylized design depicting a large hand reaching down towards a group of small, silhouetted figures, symbolizing aid and support for flood victims. The text 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST BERLIN' and the denomination '10+5' are also visible.

This stamp was issued by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin in 1956 as a charity surcharge stamp to raise funds for the victims of severe flooding, likely related to the Elbe river floods that affected parts of Germany in the mid-1950s.
