NAZI GERMANY
STAMPS
1934

Michel 539
DEUTSCHE LUFTPOST
(AIRMAIL)

Issued: 21st Jan 1934. These stamps were issued on the 21st Jan 1934 and were valid through 31st Dec 1939. The stamp design is interesting in that the lower denominations, which were primarily for domestic use, feature the Nazi swastika rising like the sun over the earth. The German eagle soars gracefully in the foreground and overall the impression is of a resurgent Germany looking forward to a bright future. As the Nazi party had only been in power for a year the two higher denominations, which would be primarily used on international mail, are more toned down and less political.
