Please help in identifying stamps , the year of issue and issuer or country or anything about it. I have no idea what is this. I am informed that this is the postage stamp "1945 Soviet zone of occupation in Germany - Local Post in Harthau no. XVII," but I'm not convinced.  *** Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

it looks like a local overprint from 1945 but the cancel says 35... 1935!
So it could be a forgery, I am not shure.
( it is not a Hitler stamp). |

the stamp looks like a 1933 Paul von Hindenburg stamp, but with all that cancellation over it it's hard to tell anything

All the black stuff is cancellation, not overprint, so it is the 'normal' German regular issue. |

The 1935 Karlsruhe CDS's are from the p.o. handling postal money orders. If the black smudge is a Soviet Zone overprint forgery, then it is poorly conceived. |

As Kilowarecollector said, the date is wrong. Besides, Baden was in the French Zone, not the Soviet Zone. |

It is a Hindenburg but as there were two issues of the 40pf in this colour it is not possible to tell if it is 1933 or 1934 without knowing the watermark.

Seriously guy .its Karlsruhe postmark . It was in us territory and us have a base there from the end of the war to 1995
The black smudge at the back for sure look like the oval 4 bars Russian zone was using over Hitler face . A Russian zone stamp used in American zone ??????
It's so funny |

The stamp is postmarked 5.9.35 which is 5 September 1935. It is probably Michel Cat. # 524, issued in Feb. 1934. The other 40 pf purple stamp, Michel # 472 was issued Oct. 1st, 1932. Karlsruhe is in the State (Land) of Baden, today Baden-Württemberg, which was under both French and USA occupation following the war. As for the stamp being defaced, it looks like a sad joke. The Hitler stamps were defaced. The Hindenburg stamps, not so sure. |

I doubt that it could be Mi472 which was blueviolet colour. The earlier stamp I mentioned was Mi491 -dark lilac purple issued Aug 1933.
By the way, the black smudge which appears to be causing some excitement does not look similar to the Soviet cancels I have seen. The Soviet four bar cancel(Dresden) was not a circle - it was the shape of a running track round a soccer pitch - oblong. Nor does it appear to be a cork cancel which did not usually have bars.
