Germany – Allied occupation general issues

At the end of World War II, Germany was divided into separate areas occupied by France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States. The region around Berlin was similarly divided. France issued separate issues for its occupied areas (See: Germany – French occupation zone), but the other powers used the following issues until June 1948.


 * In 1946, a numeral definitive series was issued inscribed DEUTSCHE / POST. A souvenir sheet of three was also issued.
 * In 1947, two large semipostal designs commemorating the Leipzig Fair was issued.
 * Later in 1947, the Control Board definitives were released, with pfennig values showing various workers and the mark values showing the dove of peace.
 * In May 1947, a two stamp von Stephan set was released.
 * Again in 1947, Leipzig Fair commemoratives were issued, similar to the previous semipostals.
 * In 1948, a new Leipzig Fair set was issued.
 * A set for the Hanover Export Fair followed.
 * In June 1948, the Soviet Zone and the American and British Zones issued their own stamps, with the above stamps valid in Berlin and the Soviet Zone for a few days after the split.
