Influence of National Socialist Politics

Shortly after he came to power, Adolf Hitler suggested issuing a special stamp to commemorate the “national uprising” on January 30th. The Post Minister Paul von Eltz-Rübenach rejected this in a letter dated April 13, 1933. On the one hand, he referred to the definitive stamp series Hindenburg-Medaillon , newly issued since October 1, 1932 , which was also supplemented this year by further denominations, and, on the other hand, to the special stamps with the portrait of Frederick the Great that came to the post office on April 12th , which commemorated the opening of the new Reichstag in the Potsdam Garrison Church on March 21st. In addition, he stated in the letter that the welfare stamp series planned for autumn "for operational and economic reasons" had exhausted the possibilities of the Post for the current year.
