This set features seven stamps from 1941, originally German definitive stamps depicting Adolf Hitler, overprinted with 'Ukraine' for use in the German-occupied territories of the Soviet Union. The stamps are canceled with a special official 'Winniza' postmark, the German name for the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia.

Issued during the German occupation of Ukraine in World War II, these stamps served as propaganda and symbols of German control. The Vinnytsia cancellation is significant as the city was the site of a notorious massacre of civilians by German forces.
