Nazi Nuremberg Rally Stamp.

Pretty stamp with an ugly message,

Personally, I do not see anything pretty about this stamp. It is sort of extremely depressing!

It has an ominous look about it, but that is because we know what the swastika symbol came to represent. It probably appealed to many Germans of the 1930s.

This is a still from the infamous "It's morning in the Fatherland" commercial. (Wink.)

Practically every stamp issued under the Nazis featured some sort of propaganda, whether it was Nazi Party imagery itself or cultural and historical figures that the Nazis wanted to elevate in the national consciousness. This also extended to stamps they issued for occupied Poland and Czechoslovakia as well, although they didn't emphasize German culture quite as much on those. It's a pretty interesting (to me, anyway) philatelic area.

And to me. I find Third Reich stamps very nationalistic, but generally well designed and attractive. I collect them postally used as I can afford them. Some of the semi-postals are getting pricey.
