Nazi Germany Himmler Forgery (British Propaganda)

Germany · 1943 · 12 + 38 Pfennig

The stamp depicts a portrait of Heinrich Himmler, a high-ranking Nazi official, facing right, in the style of contemporary German definitive stamps featuring Adolf Hitler. The text 'DEUTSCHES REICH' and '12 + 38 PFENNIG' are visible.

This stamp is a British propaganda forgery from World War II, created to undermine the Nazi regime by replacing Hitler's image with that of Himmler, a figure associated with the SS and atrocities, on German postage. It was intended to be circulated within Germany.
