Soviet Occupation Zone, East Saxony, 52 Pfennig Numbers

Germany · 1945 · 52 Pfennig

The stamp features a large numeral '52' in the center, with 'PF' below it, indicating the denomination. 'DEUTSCHE POST' is at the top and 'OST-SACHSEN' at the bottom, all within a simple rectangular frame.

Issued in the immediate aftermath of World War II, this stamp is part of the provisional issues for the Soviet Occupation Zone in East Saxony. It reflects the fragmented postal administration before the establishment of a unified German postal system, essential for re-establishing postal services in a devastated country.
