Germany (Soviet Occupation Zone) · 1945 · 86 Pfennig

This stamp from the Soviet Occupation Zone in Germany depicts a symbolic scene related to the post-World War II land reform program. It features a farmer tilling the land with a horse-drawn plow, representing the redistribution of land to peasants in Saxony.

Issued shortly after World War II, this stamp commemorates the 'Bodenreform' (land reform) policy implemented by the Soviet administration in its occupation zone, which aimed to dismantle large estates and redistribute land to landless farmers.
