Postage Stamps: Joint Issues – Allied Control Council (1946–1948)

Welcome to our specialized category for postage stamps of the Allied Control Council Joint Issues (1946–1948)! Before the June 1948 Currency Reform divided Germany's postal system, the four occupying powers issued joint postage stamps beginning in February 1946 for valid use across the American, British, and Soviet zones (as well as Greater Berlin). From the first Numerals series and the second Workers definitives to the sought-after Leipzig Fair issues and souvenir sheets, these stamps form a cornerstone of post-war German philately.
At NOBIS24.com, you will discover guaranteed originals from this historic period—including mint and cancelled complete sets, sought-after souvenir sheets, BPP-expertized shade and perforation varieties, and postally used commercial covers.
