Heinrich Himmler Propaganda Counterfeit

Germany · 1944 · 12 + 38 Pfg

The stamp features a portrait of Heinrich Himmler, a prominent Nazi official, against a dark background. The denomination '12 + 38 Pfg' is visible at the bottom.

This stamp is a British propaganda forgery from World War II, designed to undermine the Nazi regime by replacing Hitler's image on a genuine German stamp with that of Heinrich Himmler. It was part of psychological warfare efforts.
