Ukraine German Occupation (World War II) Postage Stamp

Ukraine · 1941 · 6+4 Kopecks

This stamp is a Soviet definitive from 1939 featuring a miner, which was overprinted and surcharged for use in German-occupied Ukraine during World War II. The overprint reads 'UKRAINE' in Cyrillic and the new value is '6+4' Kopecks, with the surcharge intended for a semi-postal fund.

During the German occupation of Ukraine from 1941 to 1944, existing Soviet postal materials were repurposed with overprints to serve local postal needs under the new administration.
