MICHEL 569
HELDENGEDENKTAG
(Soldier / Memorial Day)

These 2 stamps were issued on 15th March 1935 and were valid through 31st December 1936. Hans Schweitzer designed these 'steel helmets' in remembrance of the dead from the First World War. Memorial Day was previously observed on November 13th each year but Hitler changed the name of the day from "War Memorial Day" to "War Heroes Memorial Day" and moved the date to 16th March each year. The stamps were produced on coated paper on sheets (10x10), with swastika watermark, Perf K 14 and are either type 'x' (with vertical gum rippling) or type 'y' (with horizontal gum rippling).
