      I've marked this set as being from 1943

      but I am skeptical of my notes, as the stamps refer to "Deutsches Reich". At that point shouldn't it be "Grossdeutsches Reich"?

        Like these?

        Here is a separate issue of labor service comemmoratives. They are a slightly larger format and are printed Grossdeutsches Reich. These must be the 1943 issues; the stamps posted above predating them.

            Change of pace.

            Here's a little coupon that entitles the bringer of 50 kg of waste paper to the "Reich Commisar for Salvage" to 5 kg of wrapping paper, or 500 sheets of typewriter paper. Shortages, you know.

            It says, literally, "Owner of this 'piece' delivered 50 kg waste paper and allows the consumer to purchase 5 kg wrapping paper or 500 sheets typewriter paper".

              another coupon

              I am guessing that this one was attached to a pack of cigarettes, or of tobacco. The coupons were collected then redeemed, as is explained thereupon, for "highly interesting astrological pictures... with horoscope references."

              Series A (Zodiac symbols) comes with 48 pictures. Series B: planets and their astrological meaning. For 48 coupons you can get the complete series of A or B, according to your desire.

              Would these "Series" mentioned be made of what are known as "cigarette cards?"

                      My guess is that this guy...

                      ....wasn't at Woodstock.

                        Last for now.

                        This "National Postage Expo" stamp with it's nice picture of the Chancellery entrance is quite rare in this condition. It's gummed, and note how well-centered the graphic is on the paper. These are the big factors in determining a stamp's value.

                            Danzig Series

                            When the Free City of Danzig was formed, postage was needed right away, so these overprints sufficed.

                                Uh oh.

                                This is not good. It's bad enough that a 50,000 mark stamp even exists, let alone an overprint of 5 million! Inflation is so rampant that it outstrips the ability to print postage fast enough to reflect it.
