Andrej Hlinka, First Slovak Republic
Slovakia · 1940 · 50 h
This stamp features a portrait of Andrej Hlinka, a prominent Slovak Catholic priest, journalist, and politician. He was a leading figure in the Slovak nationalist movement and is considered a founding father of the nation. The stamp was issued by the First Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany during World War II.
Issued in 1940, this stamp was part of the regular postage series of the newly formed First Slovak Republic, which existed from 1939 to 1945. The choice of Hlinka for the stamp design reinforced the state's nationalist and clerical-fascist ideology.
