German 60 pfennig with 'Gebt Deutschland seine Kolonien wieder' overprint

Germany · 1921 · 60 pfennigs

A German 60 pfennig stamp from 1921, featuring a worker and posthorn design, overprinted with the phrase 'Gebt Deutschland seine Kolonien wieder' (Give Germany its colonies back).

This private propaganda overprint reflects the strong nationalist sentiment in post-World War I Germany, advocating for the return of its former colonial territories lost under the Treaty of Versailles.
