Slovakia 1939 50h Andrej Hlinka

Slovakia · 1939 · 50h

This stamp features a portrait of Andrej Hlinka, a Slovak Catholic priest, journalist, and politician. He was a leading figure in the Slovak nationalist movement and is considered one of the founding fathers of the nation.

Issued shortly after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, this was the very first postage stamp of the First Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany.
