German Third Reich “Hitler Head” 80 Pfennig postage stamp (set of 6), a group of mid-20th-century issues from the period of National Socialist Germany, featuring the portrait of Adolf Hitler as the central design. These stamps formed part of the standard definitive series in circulation during the regime’s later years.
The design features a profile portrait of Hitler, rendered in a formal, stylised manner, accompanied by the value and national inscription of “Deutsches Reich”. Such stamps were widely used for everyday postal purposes across Germany and the occupied territories, reflecting both practical communication needs and the state’s visual identity at the time.
Issued in the 80 Pfennig denomination, examples of this type would have been used for specific postal rates during the period, and variations may occur in shade, paper and print run, depending on the exact issue and production batch.
Stamps of this nature are collected within the field of philately, particularly among those specialising in Second World War-era postal history and German issues. They are studied for their historical context, printing variations, and role within broader wartime communications systems.
This set of six provides a representative grouping of the 80 Pfennig denomination, suitable for display, study, or inclusion within a specialised collection of German wartime material.
