It does my old Dutch heart good to see Hitler's face all blackened out... Jopie

Then you'll surely love the "Meißen" local issues.
They used old Hitler stamps with the overprint "Deutschlands Verderber" - "Depraver of Germany".

In Mühlberg they made overprints saying "Blut und Tränen seine Saat, sein Wirken war nur Missetat" - "Blood and tears his seed, all his work was misdeed".

I don't own any of those personally, here you can see some scans (although very small ones): http://www.phila-gert.de/150jbm/150jbm_lok.html

The Württemberg stamp is strange. I could not find it in my catalogue. Ulm fell to the French army at April 22 as the last major city in Württemberg (10 hours before the Americans arrived there), so the overprint 22.IV.1945 and the V makes some sense. This must be some sort of private commemorative as there are no obliteration overprints at all in this part of Germany, as far as I know.

OK, found it on the website you gave a link to. No further information, that's a pity.

The fakery issue scares me, but I have 8 overprints (which I learned are from Russian Occupied Vienna)which are in my father's collection of a LOT of unused and MNH stamps from WW-II (1938-1946) which he picked up while over there. These could have come from my cousin in Vienna who is an avid colector. I want to sell them but do not want to present them without the caveat....how does one tell?
