Norge/Norway Overprints

Just a couple of Norge Overprints. I believe both are both are 1940/1941.
The "V" overprint represents Victory.
Not sure about the "25" overprint other than a change in stamp use value.

Hi: I beleive the "V" was a german occupied overprint:

Thanks perf12, I had read somewhere that the V stood or Victory for the occupied areas.

More info about the "V"'s

"V" is the first letter in the german word "Verlierer" ,"loser" in
English.! (White overprints exist)

Oh, very good! Thank you! =)

The Germans also used a "V for Victory" slogan. Victory for Germany, that is. The "V" overprinted Norwegian definitives were issued in August 1941.

The surcharged stamp was issued in 1949. The postage rate charts that I have are rather confusing, but it does seem that some 20 ore rates were increased to 25 ore around that time and they may have had a shortage of stamps at the latter rate and a surplus at the former rate.
