Day of the Postage Stamp, 1942

Germany · 1942 · 6+24 pfennigs

The stamp features a stylized eagle with outstretched wings, clutching a swastika, above the text 'TAG DER BRIEFMARKE 1942'. The denomination '6+24' and 'PFENNIG' are also visible.

Issued by Nazi Germany in 1942 as a semi-postal stamp to commemorate the 'Day of the Postage Stamp,' with the surcharge likely benefiting a specific cause, possibly related to the war effort or philatelic promotion.
