Trapped In Kurland! - 1945 Scarce Mint World War II Occupation Issues

After the Red Army broke the siege of Leningrad and forced Hitler's army to retreat to the German-occupied Baltic area, some 200,000 German troops were trapped along the Kurland Peninsula in southwestern Latvia. Scarce Relics of Hitler’s Final Days! In the spring of 1945, small stocks of German stamps were overprinted with much needed postage rates for local mail in the occupied area. These overprinted stamps were on sale for a mere 18 days before Germany surrendered, and are among the rarest and most sought-after issues of the Third Reich! Mounted in a gold-titled portfolio and including a history of the Kurland occupation, these three mint stamps from the last days of the Third Reich are a marvelous conversation piece and a valuable addition to your collection. Kurland 1N21, 1N22 & 1N24 Never Hinged
