Estonia · 1941 · Various (overprints)

This set consists of six definitive stamps of the Soviet Union, originally issued in 1939, which were overprinted for use in Estonia during the German occupation in World War II. The overprint reads "EESTI POST" and includes a new denomination. The underlying Soviet stamps feature portraits of a female collective farmer, a Red Army soldier, a pilot, and scenes of industry and agriculture.

Issued in August 1941, these stamps mark the period of German occupation of Estonia during World War II, following the initial Soviet occupation. They represent a transitional phase in postal history before specific German occupation issues were created.
