German Propaganda Forgery - General von Witzleben

Germany · 1944 · 12+38 pfennig

This propaganda forgery of a German stamp features a portrait of General Erwin von Witzleben, replacing the original image of Adolf Hitler. The stamp retains the 'Deutsches Reich' inscription and the 12+38 pfennig denomination.

This stamp is a British propaganda forgery created in 1944, designed to undermine the Nazi regime by featuring General von Witzleben, a key figure in the 20 July Plot against Hitler who was executed that year.
