[QUOTE="Werner Salentin, post: 38836, member: 2120"]Makanudo and others, I am well aware that there is a thread to this theme started by Makanudo recently. However occupation stamps is such a wide field,that I want to start the thread anew in a otherwise rarely used forum. It is not that easy to say,what occupation stamps are. Wartime issues are easy.But what about stamps issued in (former) colonies ? Maybe people in such countries may consider the former rule by foreign masters as an occupation. But I think it would be better to leave out colonial stamps and stick to wartime-issues only. Naturally the "big" players in Europe and the USA, as well as Japan are the ones,who are responsible for the bulk of occupation stamps. Japanese Occupation of Burma:(Peacock overprints) [ATTACH=full]3231[/ATTACH] Myaungmya Type II,issued May 1942 [ATTACH=full]3232[/ATTACH] Henzada Type I,May 1942 [ATTACH=full]3233[/ATTACH] Henzada Type II, not regularly issued.Most likely printed after the war.Regularly this type of overprint was applied on postal stationery only. [ATTACH=full]3234[/ATTACH] A curious looking stamp.It is actually a print of the seal of the head of the committee to re establish the postal service.Used as 1 Anna stamp,issued June 1st,1942 [ATTACH=full]3235[/ATTACH] Plowing Farmer 1 Anna,issued June 15th,1942[/QUOTE]
