Austria · 1945 · 5 pfennig
The stamp features a profile portrait of Adolf Hitler facing right, originally issued by the German Reich. It is overprinted with horizontal bars, obscuring the portrait.
Issued in 1945 by Austrian authorities, this provisional stamp was created by overprinting existing German stamps featuring Adolf Hitler. This act served to invalidate symbols of the former Nazi regime following its collapse and the liberation of Austria.
