This semi-postal stamp features a stylized map of the Eupen, Malmedy, and Moresnet regions, with a German eagle superimposed, symbolizing their integration into the German Reich. The surtax was likely intended for war relief or other state purposes during World War II.

Issued during World War II, this stamp commemorates the re-annexation of the Eupen-Malmedy region and Moresnet by Nazi Germany in 1940, territories that had been ceded to Belgium after World War I. It served as a propaganda tool to legitimize German territorial claims.
