 Germany, 1944 Hitler OSS Birthday Propaganda souvenir sheet. Sheet of 4 (147x104mm) in dark grey-green with sawtooth roulettes, glazed o.g. and partly stuck to an OSS (Office of Strategic
Services) propaganda leaflet with purple "311" handstamp; some separation in roulettes at bottom, Fine, accompanied by two additional smaller leaflets with caricatures on reverse (similarly numbered "313" and
"314") and the original two ring cellophane holder.
Michel No. 18b; €38,000 ($46,740).
AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1944 HITLER PROPAGANDA SOUVENIR SHEET OF FOUR IN DARK GREY-GREEN - THE RAREST OF ALL
PROPAGANDA ISSUES WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER A DOZEN ARE KNOWN TO EXIST.
The American OSS was formed from a division that President Roosevelt enacted by Executive order and was under jurisdiction of the Joint Chief of Staff, giving the OSS
the capability and status of a military branch. The goal of the operation was to disrupt the morale of the German people by using a method of large scale psychological operation (PSYOP) that the British MI6 had been pushing into service with
the help of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The distribution of propaganda in letters and distributed by the German postal system was thought to be an ideal method of reaching the German population and undermine the support of Adolf Hitler. One
tactic used in hopes of shaking the morale further in the German people, was to call upon master forgers to produce a variety of propaganda forgery stamps similar in nature to the current German issues. This souvenir sheet was to resemble the 1937
Hitler semi-postal souvenir sheet. (Image1) |
