History of Germany In Postage Stamps - 1920s to 1945

  • The German postage stamps from the early 1920s to 1945 tell a story. You can see from what is on these stamps what was happening at the time, they show a progression in history as well as how Nazi propaganda made its way even into the postage stamps used in every day life.
    This is for historical purposes only, I do not condone anything that the Nazi regime did but I find these stamps to be kind of fascinating with respect to how they tell a story and are in some ways a historical record of a terrible time in modern history which I hope will never repeat itself.

    Great collection! You have a really descriptive ww2 series, which I absolutely envy! have just finished organizing my german stamps up to 1924, when the rentenpfennig ended the hyperinflation. I think you should have stressed that the hyperinflation all took place in less than one year. The postcard at 12.11 is from the Italian speaking pat of Switzerland. Helvetica on the stamp is switzerland, so maybe the Nazi on holiday was hiding money at the same time... ;) !

    Дуже гарна у вас колекція марок! Моя повага 👍👍🙂 Я теж збирав німецькі марки періода 1900- 1945рр. Майже два великих альбома по 32 сторінки вдалось назбирати. Я тільки збирав в основному не гашені, чисті, набагато тяжче було знайти такі. Багато блоків, всі з водяними знаками. Дуже цікаві марки, виконання художниками дуже на високому рівні було, металографія 👍🙂
    P.s. Подібного виконання металографією були марки Чехословакії, Франції, Югославії, Нової Зеландії. Це були справжні витвори мистецтва. З заміною технологій на офсетний друк марки не настількі цікаві стали імхо.

      Дякую за коментар. Так, кожна марка є міні-витвором мистецтва, що стосується гравюр та друку.

    You have a wonderful collection and thank you for sharing. One thing, though. You were stating the stamp denominations in Deutsche Marks as the true denominations of these stamps were actually in Pfennig meaning one pfennig equals 1/100 of a Deutsche Mark. In other words, no dissimilar to the comparison of our US penny to our US Dollar. (not to be confused with the Euro (currency of the European Union, nor the Canadian Loonie.
    Again, thank you so much for sharing your collection. I hope, some day, to build my collection to even half of yours. Good luck and good life. Never foget.

    The first row are in use before the end of WW1's conclusion. They were used during Kaiser Welhelm's 2nd Reich. They were discontinued when the Kaiser abdicated and left Germany for Holland. The first one is earliar than the "Germania" series and you know this because it says "Reichpost" as apposed to "Deutschpost" The words you were searching for is "over print"'.

      I think the word that he was actually not remembering was "surcharge". A surcharge is an overprint that changes the denomination of a stamp.

    • @VegasCyclingFreak
      @VegasCyclingFreak  5 років тому +2

      They were expensive when I acquired them 30 years ago. I think it’s combo of relative scarcity and last stamps of the Nazi regime

      These are stored in a stockbook rather than being mounted in an album, the stamps are just placed under a clear mylar band. There won't be a problem with stamps sticking together unless the book gets wet.

      Stamp values are subjective, and places like ebay drove up cost of getting them (and probably overpaying too). As far as I am concerned, the Scotts Stamp Catalogue is the standard for stamp values.
