This wartime semi-postal stamp from the Grossdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich) portrays a group of Wehrmacht soldiers operating a mortar, depicted in strong red tones to emphasize sacrifice and action. Issued during the Second World War, it carried a postal value of 8 Pfennig plus a 4 Pfennig surcharge intended to support military or welfare causes. The imagery reflects the heavy propagandistic themes of camaraderie, endurance, and defense of the Reich that dominated German philately during the 1940s.

Part of a series honoring the German armed forces (Wehrmacht), this issue is sought by collectors of military and World War II postal history. Its bold engraving and stark war symbolism make it a striking yet somber reminder of the era’s philatelic propaganda.
