A varied collection of original Second World War era German postage stamps, featuring a mixture of denominations and designs issued during the period of the Third Reich. The lot includes standard German Reich stamps alongside examples from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the German-controlled territory established following the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939.
The stamps display a range of period artwork typical of wartime postal issues, including official state imagery, architectural motifs, and designs reflecting the political and cultural themes of the era. Protectorate issues often feature distinctive overprints or inscriptions reading “Böhmen und Mähren / Čechy a Morava”, making them identifiable pieces of postal history from the occupied region.
Denominations vary across the collection, providing an interesting representation of everyday postal currency used throughout the war years. Condition varies as expected for used and stored period stamps, with signs of age, handling, and possible hinge marks typical of historical philatelic material.
This mixed group makes an excellent starter lot for collectors of WWII postal history, German Reich philately, or occupation issues. It also offers useful reference pieces for those studying wartime communications and postal systems across German-controlled Europe.
A genuine historical assortment from one of the most studied periods in twentieth-century philately.
