Germany year 1944 stamps Charity stamps full set MNH**

The Germany stamp issues for 1944 did include stamps with surcharges designated for various causes, often referred to as charity stamps (or Wohlfahrtsmarken and similar designations). These were issued by the Deutsche Reichspost (German Reich Post) during the Nazi era.

Some notable issues from 1944 include:

• “Mutter und Kind” (Mother and Child): There was an issue in March 1944 marking the 10th anniversary of the “Mutter und Kind” aid organization (Michel catalog numbers 869-872). These stamps typically have a surcharge, meaning the price included the postage value plus an extra amount that went to the charity.
• “Kameradschaftsblock der Deutschen Reichspost” (Comradeship Block of the German Reich Post): A series of stamps (Mi. Nos. 888-893) was issued around May 1944. These were often sold in a small sheet or “block” and had surcharges intended for the welfare funds of the postal service employees.
• Other Commemorative Issues: Some other commemorative stamps in 1944, like those for the 1200th anniversary of Fulda (Mi. No. 886) and certain art-themed issues (Mi. Nos. 902-903), were also issued with surcharges for purposes like cultural or welfare funds.

It’s important to remember that these stamps were issued under the Nazi regime and are collected as part of the German Reich (Third Reich) stamp period. The surcharges collected were directed toward various official or state-supported organizations of the time.
