About German Hitler Head

Stamps featuring the portrait of Adolf Hitler, issued from 1941 to 1945. The stamps were used throughout Nazi Germany and occupied territories. After the war, the Allied occupation authorities destroyed remaining stocks. German stamp collectors were required to register their holdings of Hitler stamps. The stamps are historical artifacts of the Nazi regime. Collecting Hitler stamps can be controversial but they are important primary sources for understanding propaganda and daily life under National Socialism.
