Following the rise to power of the Nazi Party in 1933, Germany greatly increased its output of philatelic materials. Much of this increase was due to the Nazi Party’s emphasis on pro-German, pro-Nazi propaganda, and the recognition that stamps and other philatelic materials were an excellent means of spreading this propaganda.
