DEUTSCHE DEMOKRATISCH REPUBLIK (DDR) on 2 September 1971 issued another stamp in their "Unbesiegbares Vietnam" (Vietnam Solidarity) series. It was part of the DDR's foreign policy of "proletarian internationalism" and solidarity with Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
The stamp depicts a field worker and sun in the background, while an armed Vietnamese woman in traditional conical hat, holding a child, symbolising family and "Invincible Vietnam". Special postmark cancellation originated from Berlin.
The cachet on the envelope shows a rice farmer with a seedling.
