Hi LAH,

Are your stamps part of complete sheets? Should be 100 to a sheet,
I would be interested to know if any printing codes etc are on the
borders. I collect Third Reich Stamps and have a few sheets myself.
Regards,Bill.

LAH,

Sheets look fine and really add to a collection, but they can be
difficult to display because of their size and you cannot fold
then as they come apart easy.
I have a friend who has Third Reich stamps almost complete
in sheet form! His collection looks more like a Service-Counter
of the Reichspost!
Regards,Bill.

Nice sheet of Putsche stamps, Bill. I've seen that one offered singly on E-Bay and I like it's design quite a bit.

Hi White Leopard,
The Putsche stamps from 9th November 1944 are very interesting
because the designer, Karl Diebitsch wanted the Eagle to represent Germany and the serpents represent Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt.
I have not just collected the stamps, but also studied the stamp
designers.
Regards,Bill.

I knew the stamp was a late issue (previously thought it was 1942 instead of '44) but didn't realize the signifigance of the three-headed snakes until now. I love this board!

For hitler heads i would recommend the series printed by the general Government in Poland in sheets they are impressive. Bohemia and Moravia also have some nice designs.
