British WWII Propaganda Forgery: Winterhilfswerk Satire

Germany · 1943 ·

This item is a British propaganda forgery targeting Nazi Germany's 'Winterhilfswerk' (Winter Relief Fund) during World War II. The design features a soldier with a disfigured face, alongside caricatures of Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler collecting for the fund, intended to satirize the regime's efforts. These forgeries were part of a larger propaganda stamp booklet, typically arranged in a 5x2 format.

Produced by British intelligence during WWII, these forgeries served as psychological warfare, aiming to undermine public morale and trust in the Nazi regime by depicting its leaders and war efforts in a negative, critical light.
