German Postage Stamp Varieties: Getting Deep into the Weeds

Enjoy a deep dive into some advanced topics in German stamp collecting. You all have pointed me to some fascinating details for my German collection. I thought I’d share what I’m learning, including some details on peacetime and wartime printings of Germania stamps, one-plate and two-plant printings, some stamp designs I missed in the Russian Zone stamps and Berlin stamps, the existence of Russian Zone local stamps, and some interesting stamp overprints.

A special shout out to https://www.germanstamps.net/ for permission to use images from the site.

Also thank you to the Stamps Boards Community. Images of Russian Zone local stamps are reproduced with permission -- from https://www.stampboards.com/.

I’ve put up a new blog post with the Germania image examples for later reference. Go here for that: https://kensstampcollection.blogspot.com/2024/01/germania-identification-details.html
