Stamps Attached With Propaganda Stickers?

I found this in the 10 cent loaner bag I have right now from my local stamp shop. The sender talks about the Nazi's as he or she lived through that time. Then I decided to take a look at how they attached the stamps to the letter....




Looks like propaganda stickers? It has "HEERES" on the top and "NACHRICHTENDIENST" on the bottom. I haven't checked this out yet.


Just thought I would share...

Interesting. It appears they used labels from the Foreign Intelligence Service (Austrian Army) as hinges!

German stickers with Austrian Army labels. Thanks for the info khj.

Robin.....


The German items are stamps....not stickers.

Tom is correct, I should have been more clear in my reply.

Those are real German stamps. I was referring to the HEERES NACHRICHTENDIENST labels that were cut in half, folded, and used as hinges to affix the German stamps to the letter.

OOps, I meant to say german stamps with Austrian labels cut in half. Sorry, am babysitting my 3 month old grandson and was in a hurry. Thanks again nr and khj!

This revenuestamp (or whatever it exactly is) shows a swastika and the German oneheaded eagle that is typical of the nazi-period so I find it unlikely that this is an Austrian label / stamp.

Here is an ebay auction with one explanation of the item:
