Himmler Propaganda Forgery

Germany · 1944 · 12+8 pfennig

The stamp depicts a portrait of Heinrich Himmler in profile, facing left, against a plain background. The text 'DEUTSCHES REICH' and '12 + 8' are at the bottom.

This is a British PWE (Political Warfare Executive) propaganda forgery from 1944, designed to undermine the Nazi regime by depicting Himmler on a stamp, implying his rising power and potential rivalry with Hitler. It was distributed to sow discord within Germany during World War II.
