[Below: Here are a selection of NSDAP donation stamps. 'Kreis Mosbach' (Mosbach District). Mosbach is a city in the north of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. These weren't real postage stamps, but instead you would buy them and place them next to your postage stamp on an envelope. You are probably familiar with everyone here except maybe Rust. He is Bernhard Rust (September 30, 1883 – May 8, 1945) who was Minister of Science, Education and National Culture. He also served as the party Gauleiter in Hanover and Brunswick from 1925 to 1940. He was an Old Fighter, joining the NSDAP in 1921. He committed suicide at the end of the war. Death before defeat. Click to enlarge.]
