As we're on the subject I'll put a quick plug in for the book I'm writing at the moment on British "black" propaganda to Germany. Many of these propaganda forgeries and parodies will be mentioned and illustrated in it.
Political Warfare Executive also forged the standard Hitler head Deutsches Reich stamps, many of the French Petain stamps and the Ju 52 Luftfelfpost stamp. As well as other parodies including the Witzleben stamp based on the 1943 Beer Hall Putsch commemorative issue. Others included a pair of Winterhilswerk stamps, one showing an illustration of Himmler pointing a pistol in one hand and a WHW collection tin in the other. The second stamp shows a German officer with the front of his face blown away with Nazis partying in the background.
PWE/SOE also forged German ration coupons and various other IDs and documents, some of which were used by M.I.9 and smuggled into POW camps to assist escapers. I can post a few scans of forged ration coupons if anyone is interested in these?
