British Propaganda Stamp - Erwin von Witzleben
United Kingdom · 1944 · 24+26 Reichspfennig
The stamp features a portrait of Erwin von Witzleben, a German general, with 'DEUTSCHES REICH' and '24+26' at the bottom, mimicking a German commemorative issue.
This British propaganda stamp, issued in 1944, subverts a German commemorative stamp for the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. By featuring Erwin von Witzleben, a key figure in the 20 July Plot against Hitler, it aimed to highlight internal German resistance during World War II.
