German Propaganda Parody of George VI Stamp
Germany · 1944 · 1½d
The stamp features a profile portrait of King George VI, similar to the British definitive issue, but with a German propaganda overprint. The overprint includes a skull and crossbones and the text 'THIS WAR IS A JEWISH WAR'.
These stamps were produced by Nazi Germany during World War II as psychological warfare, intended to undermine British morale and spread anti-Semitic propaganda among Allied forces and populations. They are a significant example of wartime propaganda and forgery.
