Faulty cutting of the block occurs. As a general rule, obliquely-cut blocks are from retroactive cutting of the blocks.

Valid until 31 March 1965.

Thank you very much Postmaster.
Very helpful.

One wonders the scarcity of any First day Covers, being ungummed, how they were attached to covers.

A nice abstruse example for any "Textile" thematic.

Deutsche Post, Internet Stamp. Priority. Requires signature.
No evident date .

Would all that information be included in the QR Code?
Thank you.

The date given is the date of the month when you bought the internet stamp. There is no information on the letter about the date when you really sent the letter. But if you know that date you can look on the website of the Deutsche Post if and when your letter arrived.

There is also no visible cancellation of any kind for those "stamps", it's only scanned with the QR code by the system and saved as "used". I like more the old stamps with cancellations...

Ah, Right,
Thank you very much indeed.
So the QR code is read by my local Post Office reader, initiates a "sign for" article,
and that information is stored with my signature, and also relayed back as delivered.

Rod,

FYI, the Göring forgery isn't a product of the British Special Operation Executive. It's was privately produced sometime after the war by a stamp dealer in Germany, then marketed as a British forgery to swindle collectors. The dealer actually got prosecuted in 1959 as a result.

See Friedman's article at Propaganda and Espionage Philately (the seminal reference for German propaganda forgeries).

It's one of the two common, post-war privately-produced cinderellas that are still erroneously marketed today as "official" forgeries. The other is the "Spitzen", depicting a child spitting at Hitler.

Thank you Postmaster.
I thought it sounded a bit suspect.
Not wanting the truth hinder a good story.

Zulassungsmarke Feldpost

Forgery perhaps?

Postmaster:
Searched using "Zulassungsmarke" no result, found it under "Feldpost"

Rod,

In short, that's a forgery of one of the Inselpost issues. As to what an Inselpost issue is...

The underlying stamp is a Zulassungsmarke, or permission stamp. During WWII, German troops could send mail up to a certain weight free through the Feldpost system (costs did accrue if overweight). But, for each package, they had to have a permission stamp allowing them to send the package (or multiple permission stamps if overweight). This allowed the Feldpost system to control the volume of mail by limiting the number of permission stamps issued.

Following the reconquest of Greece by the Allies, German forces stationed on Crete and the Aegean Islands could only be supplied by air. The army's field postmaster (Feldpostmeister) for these regions, Dr. E. Schwarz of Army Group F, decreed that only mail with permission stamps overprinted "Inselpost" should be transported. To accommodate this requirement, 200,000 permission stamps were overprinted in Vukovar, Croatia, for distribution to the troops.

However, the aircraft transporting the stock of stamps was shot down during a supply flight in October 1944. The only copies of the Vukovar printing which survived were a small stock of approximately 2,000 stamps which remained in Vukovar. These were transported to Rhodes in December 1944, where they were distributed to collectors.

As a result of the loss of the Vukovar stocks, until a new supply of stamps could be distributed, several local issues were used. Among these were the November 1944 "INSELPOST" overprints which were used on the island of Rhodes. A total of 60,000 were printed, of which the majority were destroyed during the war.

Finally, in November 1944, a new printing was done at the state printing office in Agram (Zagreb), Croatia. A total of 1.5 million were printed for use throughout Crete and the Aegean Islands.

I should also mention that Inselpost issues aren't limited to overprints of the brown permission stamps, but those are the only ones I showed because that's what your forgery is. To see the remainder, you can go here and get to them from the "Feldpost" menu.
