OSS Adolf Hitler Propaganda Stamp

Germany · 1944 · 12 + 38 Pfennig

This propaganda stamp features a portrait of Adolf Hitler, subtly altered to depict a skull on his face, with the inscription 'DEUTSCHES REICH' and '12 + 38 PFENNIG'. It was designed to mimic a standard German definitive issue.

Produced by the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, this stamp was a psychological warfare tool. It aimed to demoralize the German populace by associating their leader with death.
