Soviet Occupation Zone (Germany) · 1948 · 20 Pf

A definitive stamp from the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany, featuring a black overprint 'Sowjetische Besatzungszone' and '20 Pf' on an underlying stamp with a simple design, likely a numeral.

Issued in 1948, this stamp reflects the post-World War II administrative period in Germany, where existing German stamps were overprinted to signify their validity within the Soviet-controlled zone before the establishment of East Germany.
