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 www.germanstam... 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 www.stampboard....
I’ve put up a new blog post with the Germania image examples for later reference. Go here for that: kensstampcolle...
