British WWII Propaganda Forgery: Himmler Head on German Stamp

Germany · 1943 · 12+8 pfennig

This stamp depicts a portrait of Heinrich Himmler, replacing Adolf Hitler, on a German semi-postal stamp design featuring an eagle and swastika. Two variations are shown, distinguished by the width of the background lines.

Created by the British during World War II, this propaganda forgery aimed to discredit the Nazi regime by substituting Hitler's image with Himmler's, a figure widely associated with the SS and its atrocities, on official German postage.
