DEUTSCHES REICHPOST on 3 September 1936 issued two stamps marking the Nuremberg Nazi Party Congress. It carried raised hands saluting two swastikas. This was one of an annual issue for the Party Congress in Nurnberg. Historically significant, these stamps, as no other, show the fervor of the Nazi party. The designer was Sepp Semar. The stamps were printed by Reichsdruckerei, Berlin), using the Photogravure method. The size was 23 x 27 mm with comb14 perforations.
The stamps included:
6 Pf - Dark green
12 Pf - Dark brown/red
Disclaimer:
In displaying these stamps 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.
