Germany (Soviet Occupation Zone) · 1948 · 12 pfennig

A definitive stamp from the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany, featuring the large numeral '12' for its denomination and 'DEUTSCHE POST', with the 'Sowjetische Besatzungszone' overprint.

This stamp, used on a letter in 1949, exemplifies the postal and political divisions of post-WWII Germany, as stamps from the Soviet sector were not valid for mail in West Berlin.
