DEUTSCHES DEMOKRATISCH REPUBLIK (DDR) issued the first "Unbesiegbares Vietnam" (Invincible Vietnam) postage stamp on 25 October 1966 to promote aid to Vietnam. It depicted a woman with rifle planting a flower, symbolising the strength and resilience of the Vietnamese people. It carried a face value of 20+5 Pfennig (East German pfennig), meaning the additional 5 Pfennig was a surcharge for this charitable cause.
The postcard with cachet of a water buffalo and armed Vietnamese man was a postal cover for the "Vietnam is not alone" exhibition, held from 15 March to 31 May 1968, at Postmuseum Berlin, East Germany (DDR).
