Your set will include: N52, N58, N60 (three stamps).
While Germany was divided among the Allies after World War II, just a few years earlier it had expanded its reach across much of Europe through military conquest and occupation.
During that time, the Third Reich issued stamps for the territories it controlled — standard German issues overprinted with names like “Ostland” and “Ukraine.”
These occupation stamps reveal the extent of Germany’s wartime influence and remain important pieces of postal history from one of Europe’s darkest periods.
These World War II–era stamps were issued by Nazi Germany for use in Ostland, the occupied Baltic territories (present-day Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and parts of Belarus). The stamps began as standard issues of the Deutsches Reich, featuring the profile of Adolf Hitler, and were later overprinted “OSTLAND” to designate their use in the occupied region.
Ostland occupation issues are sought after for their historical significance, representing one of the darker and more complex periods in European philately. Each piece reflects the postal and political control exerted by the German regime during the war.
Collectors value these for their connection to WWII postal history, wartime overprints, and their role in illustrating how stamps served both administrative and propaganda purposes during the conflict.
