Never seen it before but must be 100% fantasy. Really neat design though. |

Quote: I'd put my money on it being fantasy, but certainly interesting I agree. I have a Holocaust Perpetrators collection of postal history and revenue documents; I have never seen these before. |

While the PKWN was a real entity, the 20th century's greatest mustachioed antagonist did not spell his given name "Adolph." |

For new readers and new collectors a background is needed on this subject .
It starts with the end of W.W.II ,there was hundreds of millions of Third Reich stamps printed and placed in many post offices in about every town that the Allied army's took plus the locals also part took in cleaning out those Post Offices ,so basicly there were tons of postage stamps free for the taking .
A lot of overprinting was going on with all this material floating around , some was local government approved but a lot was overprinted for profit or as revenge to what happen . American soldiers were approved to take and keep any Nazis souvenir they "liberated " . So it was not unusual for me to buy full MNH sheets of Third Reich stamps in Denver Colorado in 1970 . Even stamp dealers at Compex in Chicago in 1973 had full sheets on their tables again for a buck a sheet with 100 stamps .
With so much stuff still floating around Europe ,it is no surprise when computers and computer printers in the three Baltic Countries became home base for dozens if not hundreds of new overprints on Third Reich stamps .
I almost purchased a stamp lot of overprints around 2012 at the Regency stamp Auction in Milwaukee ,that was over 30 French towns with beautiful overprints {a different overprint for each town } with a letter claiming they are real . Again it was garbage ,the letter plus the stamps .
This is what started this over printing and now they just make fantsy issues for internet buyers on their computers .

The pictures are not good enough to see what is going on, but these do not appear to be overprints on stamps of the Grerman Empire. They look like complete fantasy items. |

I assumed it meant a Hitler vignette in a Germania-like frame?
Dunno, not my thing, on any level. |

I got the same impression as vayolene. It appears Hitler looks right and Germania looks left. But as far as indistinct pictures go, those posted are among the top examples. The symbols are very clear, but that's all. |
