Hi Everyone,
I have found information about this stamps online stating that the surtax went towards Hitler's National Culture Fund.

But I can't find out any history on it.
What exactly is the National Culture Fund?

Thank you,
SueStamps

The National Culture Fund supported patronage for the arts - the purchase and exhibition of art and propaganda. Goebbels was one of the prime persons involved in this activity.

The icon on the left frame of your stamp example,
survives today as a symbol of German Air Post
as seen by this etiquette.
