FRENCH OCCUPATION ZONE after WWII issued between December 1945 and April 1946 a series of 13 stamps, among these being Mark denominations that featured Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich von Schiller, and Heinrich Heine, all famous German writers. These were used for general usage throughout the French occupation zone. Though the stamps were denominated in German currency, they all have the "appearance" of similar contemporary French postage stamps of the era. These general issues were valid for postage until June 1948, though in 1947, each of the German states within the French occupation zone began issuing their own postage stamps. These stamps were engraved on unwatermarked paper and had 13 perforations.
