Denmark 1941 Red Cross Semi-Postal: Soldier and Nurse

Denmark · 1941 · 10+2 øre

This semi-postal stamp was issued to raise funds for the Danish Red Cross. The design features a Danish soldier in uniform standing beside a Red Cross nurse, symbolizing care and support for the military during wartime. The surtax of 2 øre on top of the 10 øre postal value directly benefited the humanitarian organization.

Issued during the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, this stamp served as a subtle expression of national solidarity and humanitarian effort under difficult circumstances.
