Deutsches Reichpost 12th Anniversary of the Munich Putsch

DEUTSCHES REICHPOST on 5th November 1935 issued a commemorative stamp to mark the 12th anniversary of the Munich Putsch.

The Putsch occurred on 9th November 1923 when Hitler tried to take power by force in Munich. The attempt failed, but it created martyrs when the Munich police shot and killed some of the members. Within the Third Reich this event was often depicted philatelic history, with several stamp and postcard issues, the last time being November 1944.

 Disclaimer: In displaying this stamp I must stress I DO NOT advocate, NOR wish to glorify the regime of Nazi Germany or any present day fascist organization/state. My sole intent is to illustrate the philatelic history of the period, one which I personally believe to have been evil and as such a plight in the history of Germany and their satellite allies at the time.
