OSS Adolf Hitler Propaganda Stamp

Germany · 1944 · 12 + 38 pfennig

A propaganda stamp featuring a portrait of Adolf Hitler (altered to resemble Heinrich Himmler) facing right, with 'DEUTSCHES REICH' at the top and '12 + 38' at the bottom, mimicking a German charity stamp.

Created by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, this stamp was designed to demoralize the German populace by subtly altering the image of Hitler on official stamps and distributing them covertly.
