British Propaganda Forgery (Hans Frank)

Germany · 1943 · 12 + 38 Pfennig

The stamp depicts a portrait of Hans Frank, Generalgouverneur of occupied Poland, in profile, facing right, within an oval frame. The text 'DEUTSCHES REICH' is at the top, and the denomination '12 + 38' is at the bottom.

This is a British propaganda forgery from World War II, intended for use in Germany or occupied Poland. It replaces the portrait of Adolf Hitler with that of Hans Frank, a Nazi official responsible for atrocities in occupied Poland, to undermine German morale and sow dissent.
