Item Description

Grade: Superb
Very scarce setInformation about these stampsDuring World War II, the British intelligence agency MI5 embarked on a covert operation known as "Operation Cornflakes" to undermine German morale and disrupt communication networks. One of the tactics employed was the production of counterfeit postage stamps intended for use within Nazi Germany. These forged stamps featured anti-Nazi propaganda messages, often mocking Hitler and the Nazi regime. The operation involved carefully crafting stamps that closely resembled genuine German postage stamps in order to deceive postal workers and authorities. These counterfeit stamps were then dropped into enemy territory via air raids or covert missions, where they would be intercepted by unsuspecting civilians or postal workers and distributed alongside authentic mail. The aim of this propaganda campaign was multifaceted. Firstly, it sought to sow doubt and dissent among the German population by disseminating anti-Nazi sentiments. Secondly, it aimed to disrupt postal communication networks, causing confusion and potentially hindering military operations. Finally, it served as a psychological warfare tactic, exploiting the power of propaganda to undermine the morale of the German people and weaken support for the Nazi regime. Operation Cornflakes was just one example of the myriad clandestine operations conducted by Allied intelligence agencies during World War II. While the impact of these propaganda forgeries on the overall course of the war is difficult to quantify, they undoubtedly played a role in the broader effort to undermine enemy morale and contribute to the eventual Allied victory.BUY 5 OR MORE ITEMS AT FULL PRICE FROM MY STORE AND GET FREE SHIPPING IF BUYING MULTIPLE ITEMS PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE SO THAT YOU RECEIVE MY SHIPPING DISCOUNTS REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE A LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER ITEMS I HAVE FOR SALE Information for bidders & buyers: All individual stamps, sets & sheets I sell are sold with a full moneyback guarantee.
