Himmler Propaganda Forgery Probe Print, Type II

Germany · 1943 · 12 + 38 Pfennig

This stamp features a portrait of Heinrich Himmler, replacing the original portrait of Adolf Hitler, with 'Deutsches Reich' and '12 + 38 Pfennig' text. The image shows two probe prints of this British propaganda forgery, one in black and one in violet.

This is a British propaganda forgery from World War II, created to sow discord within Nazi Germany by depicting Heinrich Himmler in place of Adolf Hitler. It was part of Allied psychological warfare efforts to undermine the Nazi regime.
