USSR Great Patriotic War - 1942-1943

 

ПОЧТА CCCP (Post of the USSR) stamps from the Great Patriotic War (World War II) era were issued between 1942 and 1943 and served as mobile posters, carrying patriotic slogans like "Everything for the Front! Everything for Victory!" into every Soviet household; essentially these stamps were propaganda to bolster national defense and support for the front lines.

The stamps depicted various scenes including women workers, soldiers, a flaming Nazi Germany tank, planes, and food shipments to the front lines. 

Several stamps in this image appear to be "Cancelled to Order" (CTO), meaning they were cancelled by the postal authority without actually going through the mail.

The stamps shown:

- ПОДАРКИ-ФРОНТУ (GIFTS FOR THE FRONT)

- СМЕРТЬ НЕМЕЦКИМ ОККУПАНТАМ! (Death to German Occupiers!)

- СЕЛЬСКОЕ ХОЗЯЙСТВО - ФРОНТУ! (Agriculture - for the Front!)

- ВСЕ ДЛЯ ФРОНТА! ВСЕ ДЛЯ ПОБЕДЫ!  (Everything for the Front! Everything for Victory!)

- ЗА ПОЛНЫЙ РАЗГРОМ НЕМЕЦКИХ ЗАХВАТЧИКОВ (For the Complete Rout of the German Invaders)
